And while that's probably the reality, it's not a message you want broadcast so freely.Do the incentives and trade kicker not help speak to the opposite? Basically says if we do trade you there is as good a reason as any team would trade you with a raising salary, you just get paid well to do it. Think of it this way, we’re giving him a signing bonus to back pay his previous worth. Our benefit to that is we can possibly get you better teammates to help push you over the hump as yours snd THJ’s age!
