From all I have heard true or untrue, the story is Stl has to offer what is considered the biggest $ to keep AP. If that's his groups stance they can die in a fire.
I understand them wanting to be paid appropriately but he also wants to be on a contender.
If he wants to be a Cardinal and be on a contender he has to leave room for other top players while being the highest paid guy on his club not necessarily in MLB.
Anything else puts his own wants before team needs. He is already wealthy beyond need x100 and will be rich forever with a reasonable top $ deal.
Your legacy is what you do, not what you get $. Being the #2 or 3 $ maker in baseball is no shame. Even if you are the #1 player.
This is as bad as the NFL CBA BS.
