More On The Weaver Non-Signing
In addition to the Mike DiGiovanna article in the Times Richard linked to earlier, comes a new piece from DiGiovanna and Ben Bolch. Jeff Weaver's Mom is none too happy, young man, that this nasty Stoneman fellow decided to snap his fingers and declare a deadline yesterday evening:
The mother of first-round pick Jered Weaver said the family was "shocked" by the Angels' ultimatum that Weaver accept a $4-million signing offer by midnight Wednesday or lose it, a hard-line tactic that led to a collapse in negotiations between the team and the former Long Beach State ace.Well, no angel food cake for you, Mr. Stoneman!...
"You think everything is going along fine, then they throw this ultimatum at you and give you [two days] to make a decision?" Gail Weaver said Thursday. "That was quite a shock. It's very disappointing. I don't think they tried hard enough.
"I told [Angel General Manager Bill Stoneman] from the beginning that if they treated Jered fairly, he'd be an Angel, and they didn't treat Jered fairly. That's it."
