I was holding out hope that the DBacks could land him but this is a descent return for both teams.
As for contract issues, I used to think football players were assholes to constantly ask for contract renegotiations but contracts don't mean a lot in football. Even if you have a multi-year deal, a team can cut you. If the teams demonstrate time after time that they won't honor the contract, why should the player?
Baseball is completely different. It is damn near impossible to void a contract. It doesn't matter how much you suck. The DBacks, ingnoring all common sense signed Russ Ortiz to a 4 year 32 million dollar deal. After a year and a half they released him but were on the hook for all the money. Once he cleared waivers, any team could pick him up for the league minimum and he'd still get the money the DBacks said they would pay him.
I'm not sure how it works in basketball.
