Why do so many MLB teams bid against themselves?

Recent examples:
Mariners GM hears Cano got a 9/225 mil offer so he then offers him 10/240 m, turns out the 225 mil offer was from the Mariners
Orioles initially offer Chris Davis 7/140 mil and then give him 7/161 mil despite no reported interest from other clubs at that price
Yankees giving A Rod 10/275 mil in 2008, no way any team would have given him that.
Marlins giving Stanton 13 years - 325 mil , he was under club control , no reason to go that long and big . Coming off his injury he would have taken half of that to secure his future

It's not like they're hurting for money, so who cares?
They have a shite ton of money.

I wish I had the access you have to these free agency negotiations. Must be incredible

Or they offered a price, player says he would rather take less money to play somewhere else than play for offered price, then team ups price bc they don't want to lose player.

Do you really think there aren't other offers that the public doesn't know about?
