“Let me tell you, we’re going to go after every free agent we can get our hands on. We’re going to do it right. We’re not going to infringe on anybody’s contract, but if they are truly free, we’re going to have a serious conversation. … I think we signed 90 percent of the guys that were free agents that we wanted to sign [last year]. I think our success rate is pretty good.”
