Or we are using it this as leverage with Airbus. If Airbus assumes all future aircraft orders will go to them as opposed to Boeing in the future, we aren’t going to get the best deal possible. We’ve only been buying Airbus in the recent past, so at some point they (Airbus) will realize this.
There already exists a middle of the market aircraft, it’s called the A321neo LR.
Boeing is just going to further bastardize the 737. There would already be a middle of market aircraft if they were interested or capable.

Boeing is planning a clean sheet aircraft that likely is a twin aisle. Airbus is proposing a bastardized version of the A321 as a potential response. As pointed out in the article the ability to carry cargo is critical for these markets and the airbus offering would not have much if any capability for cargo.

The most important question: Will Boeing stay in the 1970's or finally install a side-stick?

If people keep on posting internal employee messages (like was done in this forum recently and is directly attributed in the article), I think we're going to stop getting information from the company that isn't going to be directly released to the general public at the same time.
