"Whether or not he's said it yet, Mats is going to play next year,"
said Fletcher. "You don't retire after having the type of year he had
last year. It was terrific, his best year in his last four or five.
He'll be playing." "

"If Mats comes to me and says, 'I'll sign but I have to have a no-
trade contract that's a one-year deal,' then he's got it," said
Fletcher.

Okay, that last message wasn't meant for Mats. It was meant for the
rest of the tongue-wagging world. If Mats comes back, it's for the
year at the negotiated price. That means no repetition of last year's
dog n pony circus.
uh huh ...
