Why is anyone surprised? If GM Jeruh planned things out in advance, we would never have been in this situation to begin with.
GM Jeruh, could be doing this intentionally, just so we miss the first round of free agency, and he has a built in excuse of why.
For those of you hoping he is going to get traded, you would think conversations would have already started or need to start well before free agency taking place.
They are also most likely playing chicken. They say the one who makes the first move losses. GM Jeruh will wait until the last moment or even passed the beginning of free agency.
