What exactly has Prince done that requires him to shut up and play baseball? I can recall one comment in September that he stated it was likely his last season here to TBS. Since then he hasn't said a thing. Feels like you're confusing the media discussing this with Prince asking for sympathy, which he's done none of. As for the difference between 100 and 140-180 (whatever) he'd get elsewhere, that is a HUGE amount of money. I think he'd be insane to leave that amount on the table. It's not exactly the same situation as Braun either. Braun was a few years away from his contract expiring, Prince's is expired. Prince doesn't have to concern himself with potential injuries, or bad seasons, etc that could impact his potential contract. Taking your Brewer fan emotion out of it, you can't fault him at all for maximizing his earning potential. We all do that. I explore new job opportunities all the time. If someone offered me 40-80% more than what I'm making, you can be sure I'd pursue that - and I think most every single rational person would explore that. Finally, booing a Cub is fine, but booing Prince because he maximized he earnings seems silly to me. This isn't turning down $100M from Milwaukee for $105M from Chicago. 40-80M is insanely huge.
