2) Email says Yankees offering $790,000 over 3 years.
He could have gotten a better offer from the Yankees, then an even better one from the Braves.

The email actually says $790,000 per year over three years.

He ended up signing for an average of $865,000 per year. That seems comparable to your offer. Given that even with a high greed rating, players factor in other things, this doesn't seem too unreasonable.

Do you disagree?
