unbelieveable! I offer Burdette $20M x2 and he thinks $11x4 is more attractive. I guess OOTP doesn't realize the value in going back on the market sooner. UGH.

[HollywoodLeo]

He turned down two 20x2 offers because he liked the 4 year deal better.

[Slyder]

Burdette is from Ripley... Maybe he wanted to be closer to home?

[Kingdom]

Job security. Lol

Well, it depends. In real life, players, especially over 30, opt for more years to guard against decline and in turn decline in pay. Burdette in theory could decline to the point where he wouldn't get 9x2 (the difference) after his 20*2 deal is up.

He turned down two 20x2 offers because he liked the 4 year deal better.

I was the other one. Unlike McCovey, I'm not mad about this outcome. No way I go 4 years for Burdette.

[Providence A's]

Relievers, relievers, and more relievers!

[Mr. Deez]

No way I go 4 years for Burdette.

Yeah, but I think I've proven pretty solidly that I'm just stupid enough to do these crazy things...
