I personally don't want him here given the circumstances. I'd much rather have Alex Gordon. And I'm pretty sure Dayton would as well.

This.
They're not valuing him over Alex.
I don't even buy for a second the club isn't doing anything more than kick the tires and shaking out ballpark numbers to gauge the market for any other potential deals they might make.
Getting the salary figures and years being offered by other teams for a FA left fielder certainly has no value if you are looking to resign your own Platinum glove winning FA left fielder. Nope, worthless information.
Move along. Move along. Nothing to see here, folks!
