If true, that says a lot about what is important to him as a baseball player.

If true being the key phrase because I find that very hard to believe.

Also no fricking way I would ever do that as a pro athlete, regardless of how much I wanted to win.

Sounds like a total exaggeration. Lot of people thought that contract was too rich for a catcher.

i'd like to know the exact contract he walked away from. maybe it was 90 million less but also 6 extra years. in essence not really a pay cut.

Its all in the context I guess. Maybe he had an offer for many more years from another team but I doubt seriously he took the exact same offer for $90 MILL less. No Way.

He signed it three years into his career. Think Rome is projecting what he would have gotten if he had hit the market after his arbitration years.

He hasn't been a free agent so he hasn't been able field offers from other teams. It's just speculation. That plus Rome being a massive troll makes the claim a little dubious

how exactly does that = taking a pay cut? Either Rome is an idiot or the OP misunderstood him.

Yea it doesn't make any sense but obviously no other team could offer Posey a contract . Rome just doing Rome things.
