By all accounts, the team has made a genuine and fair (I think MORE than fair) attempt to sign this player to an extension. The org has been willing to recognize his intangible value to the team and has been willing to overlook his many flaws, risks, and inconsistent performance.
Given the above, the way Vlad has conducted himself in interview and social media has come across as entitled, self absorbed, deluded, childish, and just plain f***ing annoying. Honestly, if he had said nothing and shut his big trap and allowed his agent to work behind the scenes, I'd see things very differently. Instead, he is determined to run himself into another sure out.
I was a huge fan of this guy and one of the few who still believed in him when many were yelling about sending him to Indy ball last year.
Now, if things don't work out with the team, I'm pretty confident my sentiment will be "don't let the door hit your fat ass on the way out."
