Lance McCullers Jr. says frustrated
He wouldn’t know what to say to the supporters.
Lance McCullers Jr: “I don’t know what I’d say to fans. I’m upset as a player, as a fan of the game. I don’t believe this had to happen. I don’t believe it had to come to this point. The other side we’re negotiating with hasn’t shown a true ability to want to get something done.”
