Sounds like some back peddling to me. I think the Orioles are the ones that have their doubts, don't you?

Also some info on our "international efforts". I am less than thrilled in this area.

This is coming from Boras. I wouldn't give much credence to it.

Exactly my thought. I doubt Matt Wieters just called Boras and said, "ok, I think I made my decision. I want to test free agency now. Start telling people"

I think Wieters wants to stay an O. I think Boras is trying to finesse the best deal he can get on an extension.

Sounds like recycled information to me.

Trade him while we can get something for him. It's no great loss. He can't hit a lick.

Plus last evening was Cano's showcase. Scott just wants to keep himself relevant. Jay-Z says he's over.

[Dr. FLK]

Let him test it. What's the market for a catcher who can't hit?

Ridiculous.

[Gurgi]

I think we probably will let Wieters walk. We will need lots of cash for Chris Davis because the dude is going to be the next Big Papi but better because he can field. We may also be needing the money for a Manny Machado contract. Both of Davis and Machado are going to be megabucks.

Good idea. Teagarden's certainly earned the right to play everyday, and I'm sure he'll do a much better job than Wieters.

The only thing I am afraid of, Name the team with a lot of money has a huge hole at catcher over the past 2 or 3 years.

[Brooks The Great]

Let him test free agency. I have no interest in a paying a huge, lumbering catcher into his 30's, when he'll be lucky to play 100 games a year.

[SeaBird]

Shocking to think a Boras client could consider testing the FA market when he is eligible.

In other news, today is Tuesday.

It's hard to be too concerned with Boras' threat since we've all watched Matt play this year. Fine, go ahead.
