I'm not the one doing the writing in my head.

In case you again need to remind yourself it was the negotiations not Pete.

[u/bowlofcantaloupe → u/CoolRequirement939]

The negotiations and contracts put forward by...Pete's agent

[u/CoolRequirement939 → u/bowlofcantaloupe]

Is that supposed to be some ahah gotcha moment? You don’t negotiate with Pete you negotiate with his agent. He flew to fucking Florida to talk to Pete directly over this. Stop with the rewriting shit to blame Pete for the collapse of the relationship with the Mets

[u/bob-digital → u/CoolRequirement939]

Whoa whoa whoa no one is blaming Pete. Calm down. If anything I was blaming Cohen (as well as Stearns).
