Particularly liked your qualification here:
None of it (the previous bet into the pot) worked out. Does it mean they'll never try again? NO!
Does it mean they are no longer trying to hit the "Ichiro window" (which also coincides with the expiration of Felix' current contract). YES.
What do you think, though, about their need to hit a "Felix Window"?
Baker busts their chops nightly, not only about the Felix Window, but also about the concept of a 7-, 10-, 15-year rebuilding plan. :- )
Still, I'm not disagreeing. Most of us will be surprised if they DO splash this winter.
