| 19th December, 2008 - 7:48 am | ESPN - Rafael Furcal's representation claims that he never had a deal with the Braves.
"There was never an agreement reached between Rafael Furcal and the Atlanta Braves," Arn Tellem said in a statement. "In fact, the Braves were fully aware that Furcal was not prepared to make a decision but had requested an opportunity to sleep on it before deciding."
The Braves were upset following Furcal's re-signing with the Dodgers, claiming that they'll never again to business with Tellem's agency.
"Furcal ultimately decided to accept the Dodgers' offer, taking into consideration a number of factors, the most important of which was his desire to continue playing shortstop and not make the position change to second base that the Braves were requiring," Tellem said.
Tellem said he understands the Braves' frustration with the outcome of the negotiations, but that Furcal's representatives "conducted ourselves with dignity and complied with all the rules of major league baseball throughout this process." [READ] |
