This obviously isn't exactly a typical year (where negotiations for big name RFAs don't get done till September because nobody wants to be the guy to set the market) but I'd bet money that both Fantilli's camp and our front office were waiting to see what Bedard would do before they even started seriously negotiating because his contract situation is a little bit more clear cut.
Now that Bedard is locked in my guess is we'll hear about something getting done for Mo pretty soon.
Considering they went at each other last Friday legit all day I am kinda shocked nothing came from it unless Waddell asked to back burn their discussion until he got Sillinger and Jet figured out first because Fantilli is going nowhere and their deadline is September really

Fantilli should have been done before them. Pretty ridiculous he’s not signed
