I would keep him. I know I would end up hating to see him on another team. And the contract is short enough to be enticing.

I mean, this is a game, afterall.

And that 70%+ ground ball rate... Damn!

On a more cold-hearted note, you should analyze where your team is at. Does keeping him force you to move a younger/similar player? What about next year? Are you on win-now mode? Have you won a lot recently (as in, you're not desperate to WIN NOW)?

I've had a similar situation in my game. Great SP, nearing 300 wins, multiple award winner. He was younger, though, but was showing signs of decline and wanted a longer deal. I kept him and, alltough he wasn't worth it at the last year of contract, he retired never having played on another franchise. A franchise icon kind of guy
