When you sign a contract that rediculous you only have one thing on your mind and that's money.He'd sooner demand a trade to get out of NY and keep his precious money.

I'm just saying people don't Sign Scott Boras to get a 250 million doller contract only to leave years of it on the table. He, just like many other pro athletes, are greedy and I doubt it happens.

It's not his fault he was offered that. It's not greed. He was offered a contract and he happily signed it. He didn't demand that much, he just let teams bid on him through the same process as everyone else and one team thought he was worth top dollar.
