of Matt's,
Today, the word is that the talks have stalled and are unlikely to ever be productive...the reason? Z doesn't want to give up a load of prospects for Jackson just as he's about to hit FA.
It seems each year, the principals use the media more and more to send each other signals... especially the agents, but also the GM's...
"Unlikely to ever be productive" means that unless Detroit or Boras are willing to give some ground, then there will be no trade... Jack is heavily endorsed by SSI on this front...
Not impossible of course that Detroit/Boras (whichever is holding up the line) will buy into this and say, "ok, here's what we can do"...
