Callum
KIcKING MY FEET up on the desk, I lean back in my chair and tuck my
hands behind my head. The Pittsburgh skyline is displayed before me, still
glorious despite the gray skies and misting summer rain.
The Dallas Mustangs won the Cup last night in a hard-fought, sevengame battle against the Florida Spartans. All the Titans got together to
watch it at Brienne’s house. It wasn’t exactly a somber affair, but it wasn’t a
rousing party either. Just a slightly bittersweet team gathering to say a final
goodbye to the season before everyone disperses for much-needed
vacations and time off.
That doesn’t apply to me, though. Being the general manager is a fulltime job with very little downtime.
“Danny,” I say, angling my head toward the phone on my desk so that
the speakerphone picks me up clearly. “I don’t have room under the cap. If I
had it, you know I’d be interested.”
I listen patiently as Danny Sorbino goes over the stats for the player he
represents. He’s a good agent, savvy and keyed in on the specific talents
any given team might be seeking. I could cut him off because I’m truly not
interested. If I’m going to dent the padding on the money I have to spend on
good players, it’s going to be for someone whose plus-minus isn’t so erratic
in the second half of the season.
When he’s finished, I give him validation. “You present a compelling
case. As always, you know your men inside out.” Then I let him down.
“But I’m going to pass.”
Danny’s a professional and I’ve known him a long time. Not but fifteen
years ago, we were working at the same sports agency. I went on to do
some scouting, but he never left the world of representation. “I appreciate
you taking the time to listen, Callum.”
“You bet. Next time you’re in Pittsburgh, let’s grab drinks.”
“Yeah, sure,” he says, and then catches me completely off guard when
he says, “The Vipers are showing interest in Highsmith.”
Danny represents one of our best players, Coen Highsmith, and his
contract ended after our playoff run was squashed. We haven’t entered into
renewal talks yet, but in the next few weeks, I’ll be gearing up for this.
Much of that salary cap I had just harped on is reserved for players like
Coen.
“I’m not worried the Vipers can offer more than we can,” I say
smoothly.
“Maybe not, but it’s not going to be just about money to him… more’s
the pity.” That’s a true sentiment coming from someone who operates on
commission.
“What do you mean?” I ask.
“His wife’s being courted to be the artist in residence at a gallery in
Manhattan.”
That gets my attention and I swing my feet off my desk. It’s the offseason and while business never stops for the Titans, it’s a Saturday and
hardly anyone is here. I wore a pair of shorts and a polo shirt today, the
casual flip-flops I’d slipped on slapping on the hardwood flooring of my
luxurious corner office.
