So, another variant on this....

I have an RP who qualifies for arbitration. He had a crappy year last year, and despite that I want to offer him an extension to avoid arbitration. A pretty nice gesture on my part I think. (He's a middle reliever, not a star.)

But he won't talk to me because he's "not in the mood." Note that I have never had ANY prior negotiations with this guy, who was obtained in a trade.

The deadline is in 9 days. If his "mood" doesn't improve in that time, I'd say this is an area of the game that needs tweaking. I can't imagine any real MLB player being too pouty to even discuss a contract extension offer in the face of arbitration.

Especially after a glorious 3-8, 5.51 ERA season. I mean seriously.
