Because if he had really wanted to be here, he would have taken less money. Or would have come back and said, give me a 4th year at that rate.

He's 32 and wants a pay day. Marlins have been offering the most.

Psh, no.  I think he really wanted to be wherever the best opportunity was.  And that ended up being in Miami.  If we had the exact same offer on the table as the Marlins then it might have been different, but even if he prefered Nats Park or other things about the Nats over Miami, if they're going to offer an extra year and 15 mil, that changes your desires fairly quickly.  Still wondering if Rizzo got a chance to match the 4th year...
