I don't pretend to know what goes on behind the scenes, but does anyone believe that Z would gladly step down and quietly accept this role change? Who is being unrealistic now?

They wanted Z to waive his NT on April 21st?
Why...did they think we were already out of it by then?

Don't act as though I am the only person speculating this. There were rumors that he might be shopped going back to last offseason, so don't get stuck on that April date.

Wait a minute...you don't think the rules change once we're inside the season?
And...I'm really just trying to be clear...you're speculating that they were trying to set up a possible trade of their would-be ace, at the possible expense of the season?

Not in April, but setting up the possibility down the road, as in now or in the upcoming offseason. You think that is completely far-fetched?
