^I don't think we know enough about the China story to have an opinion on it. It is easy for me to imagine Manning quashing any deal last offseason. We were coming off a championship, going into CCL, that would have been a PR disaster.
I think we overrate lifestyle here. We see stories like that of Vazquez, and it makes us feel good, but Vazquez did not take much of a hit to come/stay here.
Seba has a lot of money, sure, but he has a lot of earning power, and his earning power is ending very shortly.
It's a mercenary profession. The list of guys who took a last deal far away for the money is long. The list of the ones who didn't is short.
I sincerely hope he does not go to Saudi Arabia, but he should do what is right for him.
