Quotes from Barry Axelrod:

“They have not done that. Have they hinted at it? Are we well aware they may want that to happen? Yes. But they said early on they're not going to try to press him into the situation.”

“It looks that way from the outside. I don't know how it looks from the inside. With people threatening to pull sanctions and the various entities seeming to have hardened (their positions), do the players proceed to get ready as if it were going to happen?”

“He believes he's going to be ready for the start of the season. That's what we're counting on.”

“If he's incapable of doing this, he's going to say so. He's said many times, he's not going to embarrass himself. He's a man of integrity. He cares about the team and cares about baseball.”
