just wait for the demand to drop closer to what you want to offer.. there is a risk invovled. could it work differently, sure.. and that'd likely have it's own drawbacks too.
To be fair, if he upset the player by going 20% below in negotiations then wouldn't he be upset with team "x" a week later when they offer 40% less. Unless the "week later" comment was more of an exaggeration.

Furthermore, lets say he did upset the player in negotiations and then the demand did drop. Shouldn't the player no longer be upset with the OP's team any longer? Isn't this essentially what happened with J.D Martinez and the Red Sox this past off season?
