We nailed the free agent market last year, but as you say, there’s more teams willing to spend this time round. And teams are trying to emulate our success by finding the next Ray. Why am I worried about how we’ll do this year? We absolutely need at least one quality starter and I can’t help thinking we’ll need to strike early with an overpay. Any chance we get shut out this time round in terms of impact FA’s?
I don't think they get shut out, no. I think they're a very attractive situation and have plenty of money to spend. They may have to change tack at some point, but I wouldn't worry. They know they can't waste this opportunity.
