If that truly is the case (and I have seen a few tweets saying the same thing) then AA needs to walk away, and now. I don't like the trade as is, but part of the appeal that would exist would come from having Dickey cheap for 3 seasons. If he is now asking for 2/30 or more I would hope AA has the sense to walk. Keep your prospects, sign Shaun Marcum and call it a day. Marcum is likely good for a few less wins then Dickey but he is still a solid middle-back rotation pitcher and we would get to keep TDA and Synder.
