Because you'd certainly pick at a point like that if someone made that type of oversight when discussing things with you. And you know it.

He doesn't make $12 million next year. He makes $9 million.

When the Royals have to spend on the open market for players, if they get them at a fair market value deal (without having to overspend), that's fine. Guthrie signed for pretty fair market value.
When guys like Ricky Nolasco and Scott Feldman are signing $12 million dollar/year deals over the past offseason, there's really no room to complain about Guthrie making $8 or 9 million.
