As if getting millions of dollars to play a game that 99% of us would gladly play for free isn't enough, now there are players refusing to play hoping to get more money if and when there teams struggle enough to the point where there needed. I say if a player does this screw them, there are hundreds of minor league players that would love a chance at the big show and im sure would be a hell of a lot more humble about it!

Absolutely unacceptable behavior and if I were a GM I would flat-out refuse to deal with these clowns. The rule should be, if you aren't signed to at least a minor-league deal by opening day, you ain't playing this year. That's it. I don't care if you're injured, half-dead, out of the country, incapacitated, whatevs... if you can't convince a team to take a chance on you by opening day, you're outta luck.
