I have thought the same thing but I think it is a game of high risk poker. You are letting a team sell Johnny on their city/situation. Outside of the 8 years and history with the player the only other advantage Treliving has today is exclusive negotiating rights. From his comments today he knew this was going to come down to the wire. I don’t think we hear about a deal until Tuesday if it happens.
