Free agency bidding information sharing?
Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2014 6:09 am
I feel naive about the level of free agency bid information sharing that goes on between agents and teams. Are teams blind to actual bids of other teams? Is there the expectation of agents being honest brokers about what other bids they actually have? Does anyone put anything in writing before they get what they believe is a firm acceptance? Do teams confirm their actual offers with other teams? Do agents talk about fake or exaggerated bids? Do they get away with it or do they get blackballed? Are there applicable legal requirements or customary practices I should know about?
