I think I'll be even more pissed if Hosmer is removed and the package stays the same... that means the Nats braintrust actually wanted Hosmer and his anchor contract.
My hope is that Rizzo hardlined a group of players and Preller said, we will only do this if Hosmer is included. Rizzo comes back and says we won't budge on players, so if you add Hosmer we only pay this year's salary and if he won't waive his no trade then it's on you.
