That's the Tribe management we know... :chuckles:

The timeline here is irrelevant, but I have little doubt it will get the usual suspects up in arms over nothing.

Cleveland media being one of them...

Why is the timeline irrelevant? This shit should have been signed before it was even offered.

Because it's irrelevant.

It doesn't matter if it's this spring, during the season, or next March. The only thing that matters is that it gets done.

If they really wanted to sign him, they would have done it by now. There's really no excuse for this delay.

Yep, I guess they don't really want to sign him.

In case anyone was wondering, this is the "usual suspects who get themselves worked up over nothing."

 

[tristan+kyrie=$]

I am confident that the Indians will get a deal done but what is the rush? still plenty of time

 

[Frank Stallone]

This board is getting into full regular season mode!

What possible reason could there be for the Indians not accepting this deal as soon as possible? You've never answered that question. I'm waiting.

 

[elcheato]

Because it's a lot of money for a guy who only two years ago was awful.

Jesus christ, 100 million is a lot of money. 60 million or whatever this fucking offer is isn't. There just isn't a good reason for them to be farting around with this one. If I'm Masterson I tell them everyday they wait, the offer increases by 1 million.

 

[elcheato]

It would make him the highest paid Indian, so yes, it is a lot of money.
