December 4, 201312 yr Could you imagine if he were actually honest about this: "Yeah, the Marlins offered me the most money, plus I get to live in really nice weather for a while, and then probably get traded to a contender who would never have offered me this much money now."

Very good point. For this contract...if he hits in 2014 like he did in 2013 he'll be very easily tradeable.
December 4, 201312 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 4, 2013 -> 01:16 PM) I wonder if he negotiated a no trade clause. He did not.
December 4, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 4, 2013 -> 02:26 PM) He did not. I don't know why he would. If he's hitting there's a good chance he winds up on a contending team as soon as July.
