Coaching is in demand every season, but is this the season teams fight it out more for the men outside the bases than the ones inside the bases? All indications point to another hot coaching war going on behind the scenes, with contracts flying in at an alarming rate. As for the players? They seem to be in a holding pattern, as if they're waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Indeed, teams seem to be much more interested in running toward the trade block to plug that potential hole more than the Free Agents Market, with a flurry of trade activity taking center stage over what had already been called a weak Free Agent class.
When asked about his relative quiet on all fronts Sourdoughs GM John Derasmo offered a terse no comment as he headed into yet another closed door negotiation.
In other Sourdoughs news, NL Fireman of the Year Brad O'Toole skipped arbitration and signed a whopping 5-year contract for $7.75 million per season, after tying the team record with 46 saves and a .920 save percentage last season.
When questioned about the new contract, O'Toole said, "the team said they'd take care of me if I performed, and they showed to be men of their word. I look forward to being here for the next five seasons, and most importantly, to bringing a championship to San Francisco.
