@Herschel posted:"Tried" means nothing when you see/hear it as many times as we have without anything actually happening. If an actual result occurred more than once a decade it might be different, but throwing out a couple of low-ball offers isn't operating in good faith. This is just trying to save face.
Itβs a question of how much they are willing (and able) to pay. A second and later round pick for a so-so player is not a low-ball offer. But Florio agrees with you and the team does not have much of a history doing so for decades. However, I do remember us trading for Hadiel.
