[expletive] Fowler if he's raking us over the coals. Theres no smoke without fire, and if he doesn't want to be here; [expletive]. Him..

I don't believe Fowler is going to get an opt out.

I was surprised to see Goold even mention that.

Of course he wants a [expletive] opt-out clause.

Pretty soon the Brad Thompsons's of the world will be getting opt-outs.

It won't happen. I really think Goold is wrong here.

I don't think that Goold is saying that Fowler is demanding an opt-out or will demand one. I think he's just saying that opt outs could be a sticking point if, theoretically, Fowler demands one. Same with length. Really, Goold is telling us that price won't be a problem, which is a stance the Cards have rarely taken.

Why would an opt-out be an issue? He's 31. If we get two good years out of him and he wants to move on, wouldn't that be a good thing?

You're probably right, but that's a weird way of phrasing it.

Wonder if Fowler will demand a NTC... or a must-trade clause because Matheny (I kid, I kid).
