After his 3-1, complete-game win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, right-hander Brandon Webb said he and the team had agreed to terms on a contract extension in June, only to have the Diamondbacks pull the offer. Webb is signed through 2009 with a team option for 2010. His extension would have been guaranteed through 2013. On his drive to the ballpark, he heard fans on talk radio calling him greedy and accusing him of not wanting to be with the Diamondbacks. He said that's not the case. "I just want to let fans know that I'm not the one who pulled it off the table," Webb said.

The D-Backs have got to be smart enough to know that locking up Webb would be a cornerstone for their franchise, along with Haren. Two of the 10 best pitchers in baseball on one team? Get it done, guys.

Webb should be happy, with efforts like today his price is rising.

They probably wanted to make the offer better...probably something better than Haren's, since Webb is the Ace

I wonder why they pulled it. I can't imagine they would let Webb get away. He's as good as it gets, and hasn't been injury prone.

Or one of the other aces on the market.
Yanks do have some young arms, but the contracts are up on Pettite and Mussina...they should look at acquiring one of the top pitchers out there even if they don't sign them all...
