He was beloved in Cleveland and gave it all up for money - and not even that much more money when you consider the difference in the two contracts he was considering. Now he's never finished better than 2nd and never made the playoffs while both of his former teams, Cleveland and Philly, are doing great. Plus if he didn't leave, who knows how much of a shot we would have given to Pronk.
Would he have made the playoffs with the Tribe had he stayed, we'll never know. However, there's something to be said for guys that show loyalty to the team that drafted and developed them rather than leaving for an extra year on your contract when you're already set for life financially
