wow I came home from a lovely day at the cell to see this....last count I had only 3 SP, so why wouldn't I go all out to get a guy who had what about 140 Ks last season....or go all out for dylan axelrod.....anyone who thinks my motives were anything other than getting a SP can go kiss my middlebrooks if i may paraphrase the late boss..... <br>

Brad didn’t get the pitcher he wanted and even were he to get him from me in a trade, would have a potentially similar problem. Had the bids come out in the same manner with the Nukes getting him at $51, perhaps your conspiracy nonsense wouldn’t be as out of place.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
