hes in the facility most days..did he say 'hey want do you need to make it work' 'hey agent, make sure i am with braves' When he was given the contract to sign for the Dodgers, he could of said 'hey i dont want to leave'
its not like the braves made a terrible offer.....
'Pay your fair share' 'Want to leave' always up to interpretation, but we do know the offer he was given by the braves ...if he WANTED to be with braves he would of been a Brave, period.
Im sure Tony Gwynn and cal ripken almost left' a few times but they did not WANT to leave..whatever it took

very good point.
and sadly the braves offer was not the best for him and he took the money from LA.
Either location is great for him. He moves from 1 big spending winning team to another. Both teams have great culture of winning.
Hopefully he kept the balance with the quality of life for his family.
