I want to know what in the hell happened between the report of when he signed with the O's and then showing up in Chicago. Well I guess the people that were unhappy about losing that pick are satisfied somewhat since we got that 29th pick still.
Edit: saw about the opt out clause. That's just baffling.
Well its a huge risk for him. If he does awful this year he just flushed 20 million down the toilet.
I see the O's made a "sincere effort" according to DD to sign Fowler however, the "Opt out" year was the sticking point. I guess I can't blame the O's for how they structure deals with no opt out but, how does one give up $20M in light of that? The Cubs are not winning a world series this year and given the Cubs current OF situation, the O's just made more sense. Either way, Fowler's agent looks like an arse which is why he is talking because his client did a 180 and didn't tell him obviously. Now trying to spin it in another direction to save face. It's pretty obvious.Bye Felicia.

Im glad the Fowler deal fell through. He would have been bumping heads with Buck and if that happen the buy out clause would have given him all his money. The Orioles (DD) did the right thing because Fowler wasn't planning on staying 3 years with the O's. Put Manny or Hardy at lead-off.
we didn'tHow do we lose a pick if Fowler nixed the deal.......I don't think we lose a pick
Looked like Tillman was throwing a whiffle ball.
