That's up to the individual player. I think any major league player realizes that ... they've got a career, a future and a reputation inside the game. I don't know what a player will have to gain by disclosing historical facts that have nothing to do with his career.
Kevin didn't have me pursue any teams because he wanted to see how his health was. He decided after the painful process last year he was not going to play. His arm is still remarkably good, but it's about his back. He had to endure a lot to throw last year.
I talk to whoever the club wants me to negotiate with. But I do think that's the longest period I've gone without ever talking to a GM.
His strength has increased since he left college by about 15, 20 percent. So he comes to spring training really after a six . . . seven-month extensive training program.
I don't know why people are writing the Cubs aren't in it because they have to trade Sammy Sosa first.
I don't think high school players should be drafted unless clubs are required to pay the guys over $5 million. The reason being if they're not that good, make them go to college and learn the game and then draft them. But if you draft a high school player you have to guarantee his future. And if the player is not that good the team won't take the risk. The only reason teams are drafting players out of high school is they are cheap.
I don't want the world and Minnesota fans to think that Kyle was in any way pushing this situation. He was willing to settle.
He had a goal in this process, where he wanted to get to 3,000 hits. He'll be young enough.
Greg's situation is a little different, ... I don't think the Montreal situation has much of an impact on him.
Greg's drag, ... may be his own choice.
When he got Boston's first offer, he realized that he thought of himself differently than the Red Sox did. He knew then that there was a possibility he may leave, and I don't think that he ever considered leaving prior to that.
We're going to try to exhaust the situation with the Yankees before we move forward.
We had a situation where we knew Alex was going to be traded -- but we had to wait and see where he would end up. So we had an oral understanding, a bridge.
They were doing this for market purposes, not to help the team individually. It's never in best interest of an individual club to disclose which player they're going to tender or not tender. The free agent market has been artificially manipulated by owner conduct.
