I agree and respect that, but it's been rumoured for weeks now that NJ is the frontrunner, so how many possible combinations of a return can they discuss? At a certain point you need to just make a decision. Granted I'm not in the room but it just seems like treading water at this point, as an outsider.
Fitz can. If he thinks Timo is the piece then you get him. For MG there are numerous options and teams and he has to decide which futures have major careers in front of him. No one will fault Fitz though for going for it.
Don’t talk to me about ridiculous proposals lol. Some of the ones offered have been scoffed at by sharks fans that think they’re getting way more than they likely are.
I'm pretty sure we are willing to include almost anyone else. Mercer is not a prospect but if you include him in your definition of one, that is a no go.
I'm sorry, this is just wrong. We're at the start of our window. We're already going to make the playoffs, which frankly means we're ahead of where a lot of us we're expecting to be when this season started. If we give away a ton of assets for Meier, who we lose for nothing because we can't get him under contract, it will be a disaster for the franchise. Equally disastrous would be giving away a ton of assets and signing him to a contract that makes it impossible to keep Bratt without completly blowing up our cap structure, because that would shrink our window of genuine competitiveness and put us in a position of constantly having to use assets to buy cap space. There are all kinds of ways that Fitz could completely botch this and seriously damage our long-term competitiveness.
