If I had I would have shared.

I don't think that information will be released.

I think it is possible that Wieters did this on his own.

This from MLB.com.....

"I prayed a lot," said Wieters of the decision, which became public Friday afternoon but has not been confirmed by the club. "One of the options that kept coming up was going back to Baltimore, where I can be comfortable with the [coaching] staff, with the pitching staff and the locker room, which has such a great feel, and the city. My wife and son, they both love Baltimore. We decided to take a little bit of a different approach as far as not taking a multiyear deal [and entering free agency]."

Wieters is coming off a shortened season after he returned in June from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in May 2014. His agent, Scott Boras, said Wieters was still contemplating the qualifying offer in the days leading up to Friday's 5 p.m. ET deadline.

I am probably reading too much into the Boras statement, but it seems to me Boras wanted to go FA & deal
