He didn't have an offer from Florida??
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is he waiting for? I would have taken that deal & cashed the check before the ink dried!
ReplyDeletebecause they didn't offer $800,000 like he said (hours after being drafted)... Jacobs ran his mouth and kinda got left out to dry. He'll either sign with Boston or go to JUCO to play baseball... that way he'll be eligible for the MLB draft sooner.
