-Rome
-Italian master Armando Caccicci has lowered his minimum Feast Fest offer by $100,000, he announced Saturday.
Caccicci lowered his minimum offer demand from $750,000 to $650,000, in hopes of bolstering talks between he and Feast Fest for a deal to get him in Feast Fest 2013.
Caccicci has had strained relations with FF all offseason long, but he hopes the latest offer descent will bring scouters back to the bargaining table. Caccicci originally refused to accept offers below $850,000; this is the second time he's lowered his minimum amount.
"We appreciate Caccicci's lowering," said Scouter Steve Peckmynall upon hearing the news Saturday. "He seems to finally realize the amount he needs to float down to before we can reasonably undergo constructive, conducive talks, and we thank him for lowering his limits." Peckmynall said that FF wants to offer Caccicci $602,000. "Although this amount of $650,000 is still far above our amount, it brings us closer to a compromise."
Scouters and Caccicci have no date set to meet again, but Peckmynall remarked that "We'll probably meet with each other once again before this year's Feast Fest, and then ramp talks up more in December once it's concluded."
Head Scouter Jim Dall could not be reached for comment Saturday, but Peckmynall called him "appreciative" of Caccicci's actions.
