Jon Daniels Club Quotations

What we had talked about at one point was a deal that would go into his free agent years, but we agreed to disagree and this was the best compromise for us at the time. It was an amicable resolution on both sides. ... With a player of Mark's caliber and how important he is to the club and organization, we certainly didn't want to get into an acrimonious setting with an independent arbitrator.

We are excited about what it means to our future, both short-term and long-term. He adds something to our club that we sorely needed.

Fabio is like any other guy on the club. We want to see him contribute and pitch well at a level the club needs him to perform.

We expect him to be a member of the club moving forward this season and next.

As important as he is to the club on the field, to the organization, to this community, we certainly didn't want to get into an acrimonious setting where effectively we're paying lawyers to tell independent arbitrators how little we think of Mark. We wanted to avoid that. He shared that sentiment with us. It's a mutually beneficial deal.
