It wouldn't make sense for them to expect a hometown discount.

I'm convinced nobody has any idea what it going on.

Wouldn't doubt it.

There have been conflicting reports in the media as well as from our insiders on this mess from day one.

Olney has been ultra-negative from the beginning and it depends where he is getting his information as well.

Very true. It's all over the place.

ESPN really just slaped Ravech in the face. Not one of their reporters gave an ounce of credit to his O's story:cussing:

To be honest, I'm not convinced that Ravech's news was reported as news. I feel like it had another agenda. It smelled like it had its own agenda. And what bothers me the most, why did Ravech report it? Since when does he report anything?

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but don't think there's a good chance Boras was just playing Ravech yesterday so as to up the offers from the Red Sox and Angels?

It would certainly be par for the course for the way Boras operates.
