What a cluster that whole EE situation was. I am slowly coming to terms with it but still I think both parties handled it somewhat badly.

EE declining the big offer from the Jays, not willing to negotiate during the season was a strange one, and his agent really mis judging the market on free agent sluggers, was all bad. (hindsight 20/20 I know but his agent needs to be able to read a market and he did not).

Blue Jays going hard after Morales so quick was a mistake. While I understand it EE was still a free agent when they signed Morales and in my mind EE is still the better option.

Thank god the Jays re-signed Joey.
