When did the offers come? May or last November?
If you want realism, the PEBA player's union would have filed a grievance a long time ago for the owner's acting in concert to depress player wages by not offering high dollar contracts to free agents in the previous offseason, like when funny things happened to Tim Raines and Andre Dawson. Thes MLBPA guys took what their clubs had to offer in the 80's, and made up the difference and more with legal action.
