Screwing with a top prospect's career to tweak the kid's agent? No, that's not likely, that would be dumb, and would probably void Romero's contract if it could be proven.
I am not implying that he did not fully earn whatever punishment he is getting. It is purely the publicity aspect that I am curious about.
If Matt Weiters didn't convince the Lerners, why even try?
Maybe Matt Wieters did convince them, but Rizzo wants them to stay convinced.
Like I said, possible tinfoil hat territory but it would not be the first time that a GM sent his message to ownership through the media, nor his last.
