Maybe he feels, hey, if they have that kind of money, why not ask for more for one year, which does make some sense I guess.
Tripling his original asking price, or more maybe would get a deal done, but I don't have the money of a Dodgers or Red Sox team. I never tried that, but perhaps one time I will, just to see what happens.

I think it is a little disingenuous to offer decent arb eligible players long term contracts and expect them to take it?
If you want to lock a decent player to a long term contract you better chuck the kitchen sink at them yeah?
