I wonder how much of his leaving was his agent, Scott Boras, and how much was Max. Max, like many other players, said, "I want to remain with my current team," but when the rubber met the road his actions spoke much louder than his words.
Should a top notch player go out and try to get the best contract that he can? Sure. But if you say "I want to remain with Detroit," but then you don't, you're "I want to remain with Detroit," is really not true. If he really wanted to stay with Detroit then he would've taken their very good offer. But who pushed Max to not remain in Detroit, Max or Boras or both?
