During his post-season press conference, Baalke informed the local media that Allen would be sticking with the team. He replied that they haven’t yet sat at the table when he inquired about the extent of their conversations.

He and his agents are prepared to negotiate a deal, but Baalke hasn’t shown the same initiative, which has angered them.
