[quote:2160e7c6c9="peterdouglas38"]Guys, sorry to cause a hullabaloo.
KD, great deal.
Dan, you asked me a question about an offer, and I thought you were serious, so I pulled over on the freeway and started looking over rosters, stats, etc... thinking that I might be willing to make a version of a trade you offered. Then, I reload and realize I just wasted 45 minutes because your offer/interest was clearly disingenuous.
Everybody, I take every offer seriously. Clearly, if I'm pulling over in the middle of my work day. I wasn't excited by the offer, but I look at every offer seriously.[/quote:2160e7c6c9]
It wasn't an offer, and my interest was genuine. However, like I said, if Strasburg and Moore weren't enough, I assumed the Posey and Pineda weren't enough either, especially since you made it sound like Verlander was completely untouchable. I did not know that you were on the side of the road looking over the figures.
As KD pointed out, we have been in discussions for a month on Fister and I made an offer, he accepted. I wasn't about to say "hey, hold on, I sent a manager a message on an Ace, I want to make sure he's interested/not interested" and then make him wait it out, especially when I know that he has had interest on Fister from other managers.
