Trade for Boldin?

Boldin wants a new deal and more money, especially after Fitz got a ton of money from the Cards. The Cards have offered him a new deal, but Rosenhaus didn't accept it.

Now, while I've said many times that CJ is a case head, in this situation I think the greedy one is Boldin. Why do I bring this up, because there are a lot of people who are just ranting b/c they hate CJ and not b/c they are making a good argument.

Besides, as it has been said before, we quickly come down on players that want out of their contracts, but say nothing when teams cut players before their contract is up. It's all a business, so let's stop pretending like both players and teams honor their contracts.

I don't think anyone has ranted about Chad wanting more money or out of Cincy. Please direct my attention to the posts in which people are complaining about his demand to be traded. Most people objecting to the trade are doing so on the ground that it would be costly to acquire him, he's aging, we could use all the draft picks we have, etc.

I find it funny that so many people who support the trade for Chad are so dismissive of anyone who opposes the trade. Instead of addressing the argument on the merits, those people make silly statements like, "ohh you're just ranting." It's akin to saying, "if you disagree with me, you are an idiot as I KNOW the future and determine objective truth." Kinda narcissistic view.
