I honestly didn't think adding Posey to the offer would make you go from "No Verlander" to "Yes Verlander". From your original PM, Verlander seemed untouchable, and I was half joking/half hoping that you would consider it when I said I could include Posey (hence the :D). I have been having communications with at least half of the managers in the league all day, so it would be almost impossible for me to contact everyone and see if they can do anything more before I completed a deal. I had an original offer to you about a month ago that had Strasburg and Matt Moore plus picks for Verlander. Both of those guys are superior to Pineda/Posey IMO, so how could I assume that offering 2 players of lesser value for Verlander would make it worth it to you?
