Regarding the mutual option, so it boils down to either the player gets a new multi-year deal or they leave? I never knew how they worked, I just figured he and the team would agree on $12 mil for '10 and let it ride.
I believe the way it works is : First, Jermaine Dye decides whether or not he wants the option. If he says yes, then the team says yes or no. If either side says no, then no option.
