Chris Antonetti Timing Quotations

The timing of his development and the development of our team didn't align. The fact that he was out of options forced us to make a decision. We feel he has a chance to be a very good major league player. Hopefully he'll get his chance.

We took our time and contacted every team and made the best deal we could. The timing of the year, being at the end of spring training, and the fact that he was out of options made it a little big more of a challenge.

I think it's more of a question of timing. The timing of his development, combined with the development of our team, didn't align.
