[really?]

Conroy has done a good job of masking his true intentions (buy/sell) so he has preserved the power that comes with being a wild card. It’s a tight window, but maybe there’s a deal where the team can acquire a coveted veteran contract and future assets to clear the deck for another team to land a big name FA. I imagine Conroy has a number ideas smoldering, but I doubt he’s itching to use cap space for anything less than what he considers to be a “Plan A” acquisition.
