We received offers from a number of teams, and we're in the process of going through deal points as to Carlos' future contract,
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.
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.
I don't know why people are writing the Cubs aren't in it because they have to trade Sammy Sosa first.
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.
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.
I don't think it's an issue of them not being prepared or organized. I think it's an issue of their judgment as to what value they placed on Johnny Damon.
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.
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.
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.
He had a goal in this process, where he wanted to get to 3,000 hits. He'll be young enough.
