There's also the matter of the qualifying offer. If there's a great player the losing team has no chance of resigning on the 15m/1 yr offer because they will demand more, then they have to be looking for something worth more than a first round draft pick (which is a steep asking price)

This is kinda what's happening with Machado right now. If no one's offering anything better than one of next year's top-40 prospects, there's no point...
