As painful as it will be, you have to let him go, assuming it's going to take a mega deal. It's too bad he's not a couple of years younger. That is unless the Rickettses decide to go full Dodgers with the payroll. Yeah, as amazing as he is, I still don't want them giving him the deal he's going to net unless, like you said, the Ricketts just say "horsefeathers it" and decide the money vault is finally completely open.
