It was clearly stated that Whit's agent told him to go to FA and test the market before re-signing. How do you know what advice Z was getting? So your ideas are all nice...but they aren't reality because you don't know the circumstances of the negotiations.

It was in an article....you'll have ask Bengal Dude about the link.....that they offered him Clint Bolings deal.  Then....several months later....DeCastro got paid and that was that.  We didn't even offer him a deal immediately before...or after FA.  While I don't know the exact details....by looking between the lines of DeCastro cash and Bolings deal.....you can kind of extrapolate.


This part is a hunch though....I feel Whit got rubbed the wrong way by our owner's charming personality.  That led to his departure as much as anything.  Still yet....coulda transition tagged him and got trade value....right?  Stupid move.
