...after Jay Z “overplayed his hand”

LINK


quote:

According to Feinsand the contract talks “collapsed after Jay Z apparently overplayed his hand in a negotiating session with the Mariners” by asking for a 10-year, $252 million deal following “assurances” that Seattle would do $225 million over nine years. Mariners chief executive officer Howard Lincoln reportedly “exploded” after Jay Z upped the demands mid-meeting.

How can he not take a second and sit back and think to himself, "Someone just offered me $225 million to hit a ball. For only 9 years." Why does he need to think about it and try to get $10 million more? Jesus.

Nice. Now let's go get Choo, Colon, and the Japanese pitcher if the Yanks get Cano and can't afford him.

It's hilarious for me to envision "bowtie Howard" of "Nintendo Power's Howard And Nester" as an MLB exec, let alone going off on Jay Z.

And, yes, it's the same guy. Nintendo bought the Mariners back in the 90s and moved him over there at some point.

I wonder if being a shitty agent is one of Jay-Z's 99 problems?

10 years 240.

Think Jay-Z is doing just fine.
