Marshall never told the Astros how much he wanted and the Astros agree to give it to him. Different scenario.

@DellengerAdv: .@aaronfitt also reports Astros contacted Marshall last wk & asked him to drive in for physical, but his price tag ($1.5M) had risen #LSU

@DellengerAdv: Heard part of this, but from @aaronfitt reports that Astros offered Marshall $1M on draft day, but he wanted $1.5M. #LSU

He's really invested in the Astros.

Tell me about the texts you got from Mac saying that he didn't give the Stros a number. TIA

I said give a number and the Astros agree to it.

I literally feel like I'm talking to a brick wall

Well obviously no agreement was made between them or he wouldn't be on campus working out with the team.

So you could have just said they hadn't agreed to a number and left out the first part.

Which is exactly my point.

Nix lost his leverage when he said what he wanted and the Astros gave it to him.

They may have agreed on a number but no contract was signed by Nix/Stros, so he has every right to raise his number as Mac does (which he apparently has).

There's always leverage as long as nothing has been signed. Things change. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Kids change their mind. Teams change their mind. We're literally watching it happen, yet I'm the retarded one.

Based on the Aiken-Nix drama right now, I would think Marshall's number is $2 million.

We often forget we're talking about 17-18 year old kids, dealing with large amounts of money. Crazy things can happen.

He has a right to do it, but the Astros aren't just going to start from scratch because more money appeared. There was still extra money left after Aiken had agreed for 6.5 and Nix had agreed.

Why didn't he ask for more money then?
