Dexter Fowler's agent, Casey Close, leveled an attack against the Orioles on Thursday after a reported agreement between his client and the team fell through.
"In my 25 years in this business, never before have I witnessed such irresponsible behavior on so many fronts," Close said in a statement. "Both the Orioles front office and the media were so busy recklessly spreading rumors that they forgot, or simply chose not to concern themselves with the truth. The Orioles' willful disregard of collectively bargained rules governing free agency and the media's eager complicity in helping the Orioles violate those rules are reprehensible.
