Was it Taro who coined that phrase, or MLBTR or somebody?
Compelling case there w/r/t Baltimore. Seattle has not typically been treated like that, because usually not in whatsoever on marquee FA's. Maybe this is their first taste of Boras' Baltimore/DC soup.

There is a slightly softer take on this -- that Prince got all excited about an NL Central free agency, that he was drooling for months about being a Cub or Cardinal (or Marlin). The way Jr. drooled about being a Red.
The dream kicked out from under him now, maybe he just needs a few days now to adjust to the new reality. Maybe he'll get his head around the idea of a move to the American League, being a hero in a strange city.
