Except it's not. They've been on record that they fully intend to aggressively extend him. They were also upfront and frank about the likelihood of resigning Shields and other guys, so why would they smokescreen about this?
They're not dumb about the $$$ and years keeping Hoz would take, and it provides them zero benefit to come out and take that position unless they are letting Eric and Boras know they're serious about getting a new contract done.
Dayton hasn't been one to mince words or blow sunshine up the public's ass about pipedream scenarios.
Clearly, there's no guarantee, but it won't be a situation where the organization has washed their hands, giving up, and just moving on.
