I'm just afraid that its a contract year and that he wanted the max. I am afraid that once he gets signed hes not going to try as hard(which is not very much).
Also if we let him play out the season for us and didn't plan on matching a max salary later, that would be awful negligent. We have a few guys that could leave after this season, including sully, but I would rather trade them now while they are hot and avoid all the inflated wins they will get us. Because next year we could be worse.
