Guaranteed he was.

From what ive been told is that....

They were in extension negotiations with MT when Johnny Walker did his about face and slithered to Ohio.

At that point everything changed, and MT re-evaluated his future.

10 days or so later he told BT and crew he wasnt going to sign after considering what teams he would do a long term deal with.

Then the calls were made and a week later the trade was finalized.
