To help drive up the price. Duh.
That's my point. Is it a smart business move, yes. It's a move every ballplayer makes when he wants to generate the most interest to get the most money and years. Tony is no different. He shouldn't have made the point of why he didn't go to the Dodgers. He's not any different than any other player so he and the press should stop making it sound like he is. Good luck to him though. We will miss him.
