It probably would have been done sooner but a monkey wrench was thrown into the mix. That monkey wrench being the possible 2011 lockout. It became a monkey wrench because the deal the two sides liked the most gave Wilson a bonus in 2011. Wilsons side realized this conundrum that if there is a lockout in 2011, Wilson would then not recieve that bonus, so they went back to the table to negotiate some contingency wording in the contract to make make up for that possibility. And thats where they are at right now, like Wilson said crossing I's and dotting T's. From the people I talk to the deal is pretty much done, unless something drastic happens it is a certianty that Wilson will be locked up long term and get to retire as a Cardinal.
I didnt want to post that info but Jurecki brought it up himself yesterday.
Also on Dansby the paper thin confidence of re-signing Dansby after he fired his agent some weeks back is actually becoming more and more condfident every week after each negotiating session with his new agent. The once 10% chance of re-signing has grown to grown to 50% now. But some are still not sure that is enough to get something done by July 15th, but progress is without a doubt being made.
Great news. Thanks!
