Mark Buehrle wanted to stay with the Chicago White Sox. His teammates wanted him to stay with the Chicago White Sox. The Chicago White Sox wanted him to stay with the Chicago White Sox.
And yet it looked, briefly, like Mark Buehrle might be leaving the Chicago White Sox.
He isn't now, having signed a four-year, $56 million deal. But the mere fact that it was even in doubt goes to show how ridiculous contract negotiations can be in professional sports. ESPN.com ran a story on July 7 written by Buster Olney that said, "Now it appears that his [Buehrle's] contract talks have broken down for good, and he may soon be traded."
The mind boggles.
