I assume Will's source either was not as reliable as thought, or he/she received some bad information.

Sweaver - Will does UTK - that was an ATM quote.

... but it was an ATM quote, that quoted UTK. Anyhow, I wouldn't say there's any funny business going on. The Expos just changed their mind, realized that letting him go was stupid for all the reasons cited in this thread, and picked up the option.

 Will and Lee are known to cross-reference each other. As well as this place. I was simply going to the original source, important to me as a scholarly researcher. I'll go so far as to assume this is OK with Colon, especially since there has been no press to the contrary. Maybe he got along well with Robinson, and he had his first 20-win season also. |

At the time of the trade did Colon have the contractural right to block the trade if he thought Montreal would pick up his 2003 option, or for any other reason? I kept hearing the rumors of the Expos "agreeing to not pick up Colon's option" but it seemed irrelevant to me if the decision didn't need to be made then. |
