same response as last time

6,400,000 for 4 years.   Butler you better tear the cover off the ball for the next four years for this amount.

[how good does this guy think he is?? Oh wait, just looked at his numbers...hovers around .300, great OBP, ton of steals...yeah, game values those things a lot. Garcia on my team is similar, though without the great steal numbers.]

7,000,000 for 3 years

also make his nickname to "greedy f'ing bastard"

Same.

You might need to increase the years if you want to keep the salary down.

Sorry to run you around like this Ermys

Let's try 6,500,000 for 5 years

I must say, the FA process has become much more enjoyable when you have the opportunity to watch your competitors struggle to resign their players.  Zayx, given the prices that quality OFs got on the open market last year (which were by no means reasonable), as much as Butler is stonewalling you, he'd probably get more in FA.

You are right Chickenbone and I need to keep all the offense I can get but damn I hate paying him this much.

(He will accept 8,400,000 for 5 years. Will not accept 8,300,000...)

I'm going to regret this but offer Butler 8,400,000 for 5 years.
