I'm assuming you must have a link or something to back up your personal attack.

You think the MLBPA wouldn't care that Price would leave 8% on the table? Keep in mind, that we are probably talking more like 30% if Price was to somehow sign with the Jays.
Here are some links for hockey, but it's pretty obvious that the MLBPA is the same:

It's baffling that you would even argue this. Do you think a guy like Price wouldn't have a reaction is Scherzer decided to stay in Detroit for $150mil last year?
The player's association basically exists to maximize players earnings. You don't think they'd have an issue when the guys making the biggest contracts don't do that? Obviously they don't have any recourse they could take against guys that don't, but the pressure of doing your duty for future players certainly has an impact.
