And the fact that he wasn't pursued for a visit is discouraging. But hey, I'm still rooting for Dorsey and like many of the decisions he's made. Just not this one.

There are a couple of things that you are just off base on.

First, we have no idea if Dorsey made any attempt.
He may have reached out to Nelson's agent to find out what Nelson would be looking for in terms of compensation, and found that to be a steeper price than the team would be willing to pay.

Second, age has to be a factor, because Nelson also might be looking for an unacceptable number of years on a contract.

Bottom line, you are making an assumption without any info.
