Virgil Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I feel like in years past Free Agency started on March 2nd at midnight. Teams couldn't negotiate before that time, even though deals would magically get done right at midnight. We even made jokes about Buddy not even being awake and missing out. But this year, all teams can start negotiating this Saturday but no one can be signed until the 12th at noon. Did I miss something here? Also, I see all these posts about Kruger or Ellerbee but it looks like those two could be the hottest names on the market and I believe Nix already said not to expect them to jump right in when the period opens. On another note, I think this will let Levitre see what's out there for him and give us a small window to not have him signed out from under us. Either way, I'm just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yes, it's part of the new CBA to eliminate the shams of yesteryear when teams announced signings within 1 hour of FA starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Unrealistic expectations? Ridiculous suggestions? FO bashing? Nope, it seems like business as usual to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 This new early negotiating window should be interesting, at least guys can go out, test the market and still get a chance to resign with their original team (knowing their free marketing value). If we're going to resign Levitre, it'll be in the next couple days...
