Same reaction to all teams. Asks for $8m in free agency, and then refuses up through $20m per season, which no one can really afford (salary cap restraints). So, yes, I would consider it a bug, because no player would say "I want $8m" and then turn down everything up through 20m. I'm not the only bidder, as these two pitchers are two of the best in the league. They just flat out "FYI - Your offer is far from what I'm looking for!" to everyone.
