As stated on an OBR thread by head honcho Barry McBride: We had to pull it because, while our initial sources were firm in saying a deal had been done, we reached Steinbach's agent and he denied it.
Steinbach will be in Cleveland tomorrow, and there are reasonable expectations that he won't leave town without it being done, but we would rather make absolutely sure we're right. Our story said "expected to sign", but we felt even that verbage was too strong, so we would rather say nothing for now. The blow-by-blow is in ATI, but we pulled that story instantly when we got the denial from Steinbach's camp.
I really, really, really hope that we didn't get hopes up just to have them dashed tomorrow. Things can change continually until pen is put to paper. Hang tight and we'll lock this down.
