Any time you see some in-depth Blue Jays story, with off-the-record details, in one of the big papers, online sites or magazines, chances are Ricciardi is the one doing the talking. Did he leak details of his negotiations with the Mariners to the media ahead of time? Maybe jump the gun a little enthusiastically? And in the end, make it look like it was the M's who couldn't pull the trigger on a deal, instead of him maybe not going along with one of their scenarios?
Hey, who knows? I wasn't in the room. But based on past evidence, I'd say it's entirely possible.

Ricciardi borrowing a page from Kevin Lowe? "We had a deal, but it just didn't get done"
