MELBOURNE, Australia: The Melbourne Meteors have reportedly been told by Andy Stone's agent that he will not be negotiating a contract. Melbourne is now giving up on their attempts to re-sign him, and will instead be looking to the free agency pool to replace him.
The most obvious free agent candidate is, of course,
Andy Stone himself. While this may seem like a long shot, Stone has reportedly expressed interest in playing in Melbourne, he just "wants to see who wants me more". If Stone doesn't work out, the Meteors reportedly don't like any of the other available candidates, including
Kipchoge Kemboi, largely regarded as the best available pitcher.
Melbourne might not even sign anyone. As the Times has covered, they have a good staff behind
Kvana Datar and
Abdeljilil Abedi. Perhaps another trade is in the works? We'll have to wait and see.
