In cases like this, the players should be giving to their agents and not to their teams. They shouldn't expect the teams to take the risk of a long-term deal and then refuse to honor said deal. Teams need to play some hardball with these guys or it could get ugly. Of course, as much as they have made in previous years, they could probably sit out the whole year and not miss much. Except in Thomas's case, that might cost him a spot in the Hall of Fame.
