First real counter to the "Ms have pole position, but need to wait out Boras as he does his dance" interpretation.
Sounds to me like the Ms' terms are not necessarily materially better than other teams' (contrary to what we had thought/assumed), and they're just part of a scrum of teams elbowing for position and hoping to grab the meteor once gravity overtakes the force of Boras' voice and it starts heading back to earth.
[Metaphorically speaking, of course.]
It increasingly looks like Nationals ownership views PF as a strategic acquisition in an ongoing ground- and air-war with the Os, which is leading me to ignore the baseball people talking about how much they like Adam LaRoche.
Not looking good, in my opinion.
