A good possibility that MC is even behind a “make it work” directive, which would be why there is no mincing of words. I’m not naive to the thought that it could be lots of smoke and mirrors, but everything said in that press conference and the way it was said tells me while they may still look for a trade, the deal HAS to be one that MC will sign off on, and that to me means it has to be a blow me away type offer.
This is the way I heard it, too.
I was expecting to hear the usual lukewarm pablum, if we heard anything at all. But one of the main goals of the presser seemed to be to rehabilitate KP in the minds of the fans, and talk about what plans they have for him this season.
Not to say they wouldn't trade him for the right deal, of course, but they seemed to be laying it on that they were going to try to make it work.
