When you look at what the Giants and D-Backs offered him, it's pretty clear that the market viewed his time with KC as more of a blip on his radar. That or they saw that performance in the clincher as more indicative of what they could get from him than his struggles in September.
It's not a chance I'd have wanted to take, to be honest.

I feel the same way about Price in the postseason.
