The Mike Trout Money had a few coworkers and I discussing Free Agency.
Assume you are offered 300 Million over 15 Years. Your 25, so young, but will be late 40 at the end of your contract. Your Married with 1 young (4yo) Child so they will grow up were ever you choose. You were born on a military base in Germany and your wife is a (hot) Gypsy, so you have no home your tied to.
Every team in MLB has offered you the same Contract. No Team is willing to offer more or give any additional perk.
Finally assume that a drastic yet to be determined rule change makes a championship just as likely for any team you choose.
In short it comes down to location. Weather, culture, life.
What are the 5 Teams on your desirable list?
What are the 5 Teams you refuse to go to?
