I would agree with this.
I don't really believe that he pulled out because he didn't want to be a distraction. That ship had already sailed, and he was 24 hours away from an a couple hour conversation. IMO, he likely got a pay bump (or the promise of a pay bump), + he heard rumblings that he had low odds.

Either way, I'm very happy that this adventure is likely over. 3 spots still out there, Fischer will take 1, sounds like Oakland has their sights set on a GB guy, so we're not out of the woods yet, but I would think Wade would be a very long shot at a Miami or St. Louis job. Capers is also rumored to be a candidate for Oakland.
