Player options are fun when you know you won't be around to see the end of the contract.
Ironically, the best thing about the guy you're talking about are his splits.
Has anyone ever seen a 41 yo pitcher say: "Hey, I'm retiring. Forget that 18.5 million; I'm not worth it."
No. I didn't think so.
I think you missed my point? Offering player options is fun when you (the owner) will just bail and won't be around to suffer the consequences of said contract.
I got what you meant, man. I was just making conversation.
Sorry for not making myself clear.
I really didn't want to bump this thread, since it's played out, but wanted to clarify.
