Here.
-- not a great free agent year
-- a little more money to spend
-- main value of moving fences is psychological effect on hitters, not so much attracting FAs
-- Hamilton probably more years and $$ than they want to do, but they don't rule it out if within their "threshold" (similar to Prince Fielder ... but he says he had "enormous amount of discussions" with Boras re Fielder and was hoping Fielder would decide to take a shorter deal, but that they wouldn't go to the size/length of the deal he ended up getting)
-- Zunino, Franklin, Romero ... probably too young and inexperienced to compete for MLB next year.  Big 3 + Maurer ... maybe.
-- doesn't want to give up the draft pick to get a guy who will "just be a nice player" (maybe referring to a Swisher-type deal?)
Cool thing was he was doing play-by-play of the Arizona Fall League game during the interview.
