Why is this concept so difficult to understand? It will supposedly ruin baseball forever if Unit bullies his way out of Arizona and goes to one of the few teams who can afford him. But how do you think he got to Arizona in the first place?
There's nothing "superficially offensive" about any person, in any field, looking out for #1. Any situation, any time, any place.
This theoretical trade might not even happen. Unit has a no-trade clause, the D'Backs GM certainly doesn't have to trade him. But it could turn into a win-win-win if the right deal is made. The best free-agent signing of all time -- four straight Cy Youngs after he was signed -- just maybe has earned the right to determine his own baseball future without all the furrowing of brows.
