If he says no, we offer him arby, he probably won't take it and then we get the draft pick. If he wanted to stay, he could have taken the first deal.
I just don't get this. I know we need money for a left handed bat and I agree with it, but why not even offer it to him? Maybe we could have talked to him to see if he was going to take it (and maybe we did, who knows)?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Because then you run in to a Hoffman situation where he leaves in a huff because we low balled him.
I seriously doubt that Wood ever said "I'll play for anything" and Hendry said "No."
