One needs to be careful beginning a paragraph with “For starters” when writing about baseball 😀

I tend to believe the 11-12 bump was due your ” industry financial trends”. Teams saw the coming wave of cash and started spending the money before players started expecting it. Once a guy sees a bigger pie he’ll battle for a share of it, but he might take a little less if he’s thinking in terms of this year’s revenue while being offered an option three years out. And even if there is no difference in the dollar value of that year, simply getting it as a team option rather than guaranteed can make a huge difference if a guy breaks down.
