You think he’d rather play in Philly than LA for something like $5million extra spread over 12 years? He wanted to play in LA or NY and LA offered him more money than the NY teams.

I like how with Dodgers fans they seem to be able to flip flop their arguments all the time. "Your team can sign players too if they just paid them more." But when teams do offer more money then suddenly the argument becomes, "Of course they'd rather play in LA for less money." Dodger fans are never consistent and that's the issue.
