I don’t think it is a coincidence that one day two teams are interested in THJ and less than a week later there are stories that say both of those teams have alternatives. This is exactly as you’d expect in a negotiation with a deadline that is 3+ weeks away. If you own THJ and multiple teams want him, you ask a high price. If you are pursuing THJ and the team that has him is asking a high price, you say (through the media) ‘fine, I’ve got alternatives…call me when your price comes down’.
