Quote from: Ed Vette on December 15, 2022, 11:43:15 AMThat's not what Schoen said at the bye when asked if there were any contract negotiations with DJ. What reason would he have to lie when he said they weren't finished with the evaluation and had x amount of games left to evaluate him?
What's the alternative, Ed? Did you expect Schoen to reveal the Giants long term strategy, while the Giants were still competing for a playoff spot? What's the benefit of doing so at that time? There are none, only negatives...hence his response.
It really is pointless to glean anything from HC and GM press conferences, as they're not going to reveal inner discussion/decisions to the public until it's appropriate to do so. They're a private business, not a publicly traded company; thus, they're under no obligation to be truthful...
