The more CC says, it isn't about the money the more I believe it is. Thome and Manny both said it wasn't about the money and both went for relatively the same money elsewhere. For Thome it was an extra year, for Manny the way the money was paid out.
On the other hand, if you can't sign him now and you honestly gave your best offer trade his ass out of here and get someone who wants to be here... well that maybe more difficult, trying to find someone who wants to play in Cleveland.... ok so keep CC one more year if he doesn't sign and with the money saved get a big bat and go full bore to winning it all this year.
