I gotta think, despite what Rogers may think (and, lets all remember, that despite having sources, Jesse is an idiot, so we can trust his sourced reporting while questioning his analysis/interpretation lol), that that just may be the case for right now. I mean, it's possible that he's heard that they just don't have interest, but I'm sure all of the focus is on Shohei right now and if/when he signs elsewhere, whatever Plan B is will become the focus.
