They would not accept anything under Stanton's deal, they told every team that, that's all they ever asked for, no team was offering that, Harper started to get antsy, Boras told him not to panic he's gonna get you the deal. He gets the Dodgers and Giants involved, Middleton gets nervous and flies out to Vegas. When there tells him they aren't going to surpass Stanton yet among the things they discussed, Boras goes back to the Dodgers, to try to get them to go long-term, but they wouldn't, so he goes back to the Giants. Then Middleton gets nervous, Klentak and MacPhail implore him not to up his offer, but Middleton ignores it and says oh #$!&@ we can't let the fans down we gotta get this guy, ups the offer to beat Stanton and Boras says thanks that's all we wanted. Done deal.
Where did you see this Shadow? I've been looking for a breakdown of what happened to get this done.
Cbs sports I think? Check Joe Giglio’s twitter page he posted it.
