AP的報導有這段 看來是Moorad的傑作: After the talks broke down, (Eric) Byrnes said, he believed he would play out the season and become a free agent. That changed nine days earlier, when Diamondbacks chief executive officer Jeff Moorad called Byrnes into his office to offer a new proposal. Josh Byrnes對續簽Eric Byrnes的意願不高 這從之前他和球迷的Q&A中可以明確看出 引用兩個DBBP上兩個有去參加這場座談的球迷的話 http://forum.diamondbacksbullpen.org/viewtopic.php?t=2458&start=25 (1)qudjy1 ... 2. Eric Byrnes situation. Basically mirrored what was said about gonzo last year. HE IS GONE PEOPLE. GMJ contract, years, etc. I was GOING to add here about how this "question" was phrased, and how JB answered it with more class than i ever could. Shoe explains in his post below. (2)shoewizard ... The person who asked the question started off with a Statement that Eric Byrnes was the heart and soul of the team and needed to be kept. It wasn't a question at all, it was a demand. Josh tried to patiently explain that they had tried to sign EB to a two year deal, for 07-08, but obviously that was not in EB's own best interest. Josh pointed out that we have a lot of good young outfield talent, and reeled of all the names. He then pointed out the Mathews contract for 5 yrs 50 million, indicating that it would probably take something similar to keep Byrnes. 這個球迷還說: (Eric) Byrnes is the only one you can bank on. 這時Josh Byrnes回了個冷笑話:Yeah,well thats an expensive bank -- 這也是為什麼之前官網的mailbag每次提到Eric Byrnes都一副他好像走定了的口氣 (GM都表示的那麼清楚了 小記者當然要幫忙打預防針) 所以連Eric Byrnes自己都以為必然會到FA市場走一遭 可是沒想到老闆一出手 全部都改變了... overpay+擋住農作物 還真像Shawn Green事件重演 --
