TROY Rosario is on the cusp of becoming a Barangay Ginebra player, a move that unites him with the team he supported as a child. According to sources, Ginebra has outlasted other contenders for the coveted free agent, adding a significant piece to their frontline.
This move fulfills a lifelong dream for Rosario, whose family has a long history of Ginebra fandom. However, whispers suggest that Rosario's ultimate goal may have influenced his free agency strategy from the very beginning.
While Rosario entertained offers from TNT, Blackwater, Converge, and even teams abroad, the reported financial terms offered by Ginebra, rumored to be around P750,000 to P800,000 per month, are said to be lower than those presented by other teams. This raises questions about whether Rosario used negotiations with other teams as leverage to secure a more favorable role or playing time with Ginebra, rather than purely for financial gain.
Furthermore, Rosario's decision to prioritize his dream team over potentially larger paychecks could damage his reputation among independent teams in the PBA. The extended negotiations with other teams, particularly Converge who openly expressed their desire for Rosario, might be perceived as a tactic to secure a better deal with Ginebra.
Ultimately, Rosario has achieved his childhood dream of playing for Barangay Ginebra. However, his free agency journey has also left behind a trail of questions about his true motivations and potential consequences for his relationships with other PBA franchises. Only time will tell how this decision will impact his career and the perception of him around the league.
