When the elite smell a big payday, they have every right not to extend further than their big payday. And they seek a huge deal to better position themselves to negotiate that bug payday. That's baseball. That's Scott Boras. That's Bryce Harper!

I have nothing against any player making as much as that can and if money is their greatest motivation- then go grab every penny. But so often you see players leave situations where they popular, comfortable and productive to end up in a situation where they have all the money but seem miserable. Pablo Sandoval comes to mind.
I think OOTP has some great things built into the game as far as player morale, greed and loyalty. I wish that PBL used some of those personality traits to determine eligibility for multi year extensions rather than simply going by service time.

I wish that PBL used some of those personality traits to determine eligibility for multi year extensions rather than simply going by service time. When we had the agent, Isaac Zevin, we factored all those into our formula for a players value and willingness to sign. A high greed player demanded more money, a low greed would give team discount, etc. It was really fun to do and exciting and realistic but without the idea of having a group patrolling every deal before it happens, I don't know how you incorporate that. It would be too much work for every GM on every extension.
