Casey Close聲明所有談約都有告知Freeman - 棒球

之前被指控亂幫Freeman談約的經紀人Casey Close

今天做出更詳細的聲明 澄清當時談約的過程

重點如下:

1. Part of that false narrative is the suggestion that I did not communicate a
contract offer to the Freemans. To be clear, we communicated every offer that
was made, as well as every communication Excel had with the Braves
organization throughout the entire process.

關於外界說Close沒跟Freeman說勇士的合約的事情

Close表示所有的合約和與勇士隊溝通的信息都有告知(Freeman)

2. In a phone conversation, Close told ESPN three previous offers -- one toward
the beginning of the 2021 season and two in August, the final one for five
years and $135 million -- were communicated formally via email. Close said
the Braves never made a formal offer for Freeman, 32, during free agency and
that the purported final offer -- for five years and $140 million -- was
floated March 12 by Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos as a possibility.
Close said he relayed the discussions about the potential offer to Freeman
but insisted it was not firm.

Close表示在FA前勇士有提過三個合約 在FA後勇士則是沒有正式提過合約

外界說的140M合約是勇士GM在3/12提出的一個可能的包裹

當然這些合約和所謂的勇士"最後合約"都有告知Freeman

也有跟Freeman說過這個"最終合約"有被隨時撤銷的可能 (not firm)

3. Multiple media reports said Close issued an ultimatum to the Braves: They
had one hour to accept either a five-year, $165 million deal or six-year, $175
million contract. Close told ESPN: "I never issued an ultimatum to the Braves
or put a deadline on the negotiations."

外傳的一小時最後通牒事件

Close則說他根本沒下啥最後通牒或是限制最後談約死線給勇士隊
