The fact is, however, that we really don't know exactly what has transpired between the two sides. We only have speculation from "sources". How do we know they offered him 2/20? And I've seen reports that he is looking for 2/25, 2/26, 2/30 and even 3/45. Like the song says, "when you get behind closed doors . ."
No, we don't know, but we have heard Dickey's own voice express disappointment with how the negotiations are going. And because Dickey is probably the most earnest athlete I've ever known of, that's good enough for me.
