Wow. Agent knew he'd take the Braves deal and just wanted more money. Insane.
Freddie looks kind of stupid here though.

Didn't this happen to one of the Cardinals free agent targets some years ago?Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑June 29 22, 4:09 pmWow. Agent knew he'd take the Braves deal and just wanted more money. Insane.

I can’t recall. I know Cardinal offers were used to drive up other offers. A la Lester and Price.Joe Shlabotnik wrote: ↑June 29 22, 5:08 pmDidn't this happen to one of the Cardinals free agent targets some years ago?Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑June 29 22, 4:09 pmWow.

IIRC it was Placido Polanco. As the story goes he had an offer to return to St. Louis (a couple of years after we traded him to Philly in the Rolen deal) to play 2B. His agent didn't tell him about it for reasons, and he ended up re-signing with Philly (while we went with Mark Grudzielanek). He fired his agent when he found out (and was traded to Detroit the following June for expiring contracts).
