Part 12/13:
The leak of a $250 million gap in Scooble's negotiations signals a high-stakes game between Detroit and Boris.

The debate continues: extensions seem unlikely; the focus is on trading or waiting for free agency.
Scott Boris's strategic leaks are part of the overall negotiation, and fan input remains vital as the market develops.
