I understand that, and it only makes sense. It is just funny that he makes a statement about wanting to play for a contender.

I wonder how much money the Tribe were offering in bonuses. Cause I understand him wanting out of that option year, but now the Brewers will trade him to someone not on his no-trade list and they'll exercise the option with no additional incentive.

He overestimated the hammer he was carrying in negotiations. Should have just juiced the Tribe management out of as much as he could and then go play ball.

Last year Cole Hamels said he was open to anybody and wouldn't veto a trade. The power was in the front offices hands. Then he vetoed a trade to the Astros. It happens.
