Maybe the plan, but I still think his strategy was flawed...

All I can surmise is that he must have really, really wanted out. I don't know

Oh, he wanted out. That's barely a secret...regarding injury

This. I don't understand why so many people on this board are defending him

I don't think it's fair to say it was a poor decision. It's definitely one that

I think it was a stupid decision

But what if he could have negotiated 2 or 3x his current contract for MORE yrs?

False premise - you assume Mika's draft stock improves

I doubt he believes it's a poor decision.

And when you're a young kid, you need people who can give you

I've got a 21 year-old son who is still figuring stuff out too.

I think this is fascinating

He's already 22, his arms aren't getting any longer, and he isn't going to be more athletic. By staying, he's losing out

This. He has already missed out on 2 years of a (likely) 10-12 pro year career.

I really disagree

Those guys drafted in this year's draft will still be around, however, as will next year's. It only gets more difficult.

But first rounders have guaranteed money and teams

Give a shred of evidence... He would've been one year older

Maybe his rich dad has a sweet deal ready for him once he retires. Nepotism ftw.

Ash

Nepotism has such a negative connotation. But if his dad is going to support him
