| 18th December, 2008 - 6:39 pm | SI.com - Braves general manager Frank Wren said Thursday that his franchise has notified Rafael Furcal's agency that they intend never to do business with them again.
The Braves thought they had a deal earlier this week to bring the star shortstop back to Atlanta, where he began his career, before Furcal decided to stay with the Dodgers for virtually the same terms.
Wren said that Braves president John Schuerholz called Arn Tellem, who heads the baseball division of the Wasserman Media Group, to inform Tellem that the Braves will no longer enter into negotiations with them regarding baseball clients.
"We don't have any intention of doing business with them, and they've been notified of that," said Wren.
Tellam's agency includes baseball players like Carlos Lee and Jason Giambi.
"When you can't trust who you're doing business with, you can't do business with them. It's plain and simple."
Tellem didn't immediately return SI.com's phone call seeking comment. [READ] |
