I think this is highly likely. Lewis Gross is tough, but based on the interview he did on 32 thoughts a while back.....once he has squeezed for every dollar and ask for his client, he wants the deal done and was likely caught off guard.
Either Johnny is a flip flopping fence sitter or someone else changed his mind for him.
The fact columbus was an inbound inquiry into them tells you that Gross didn't expect this to go to free agency. He had no plan because he didn't think he needed one.
