Maybe the commissioners office had to ok a large transaction going, then protecting it on the payback. Your sitting on a story that gets you the Job you hope for. Give it some thought. BD and Bud are doing business...............maybe see you in Jupiter. Thanks.

It has to have been listed somewhere for other teams to see............ Could there be exceptions? Based on whose prerogative. The commissioner's? Why ever would you not expect them to? Great............I'm talking a month off to do a little traveling and maybe visit Florida. I'll check back in then. That”s a rules transaction.

Could there be exceptions? Based on whose prerogative. The commissioner’s?

Why ever would you not expect them to? Great…………I’m talking a month off to do a little traveling and maybe visit Florida. I’ll check back in then.

The Cardinals would not disclose the amount of cash sent back the other way, nor did I expect them to. I first posted the news on The Cardinal Nation subscriber message board several months ago and added it later here, I think in response to a question like yours.

In this case, Olney first tweeted that the White Sox are no longer interested in Damon. Sorry, Scottie. Buster's next tweet was this: "Heard this: Scott Boras is now working a two-pronged approach on the Tigers. " My reply never sent, "#1 = hope, #2 = prayers."

First, he's asking them to remove all deferred money from the one-year $7MM deal they have offered. Second, he wants the Tigers to add a second year. No........Scottie likes differed money.

Actually Brian has reported in the past I believe that cash considerations were exchanged. Despite your delusions, it was so inconsequential no one cared.
