Thats sounds idealistic and something you would do to punish your young son. In the real world the relationship is toxic and there is no trust from either side. From Tampas perspective this is a distraction. How do you bring this guy back next year. So he says the right things, you bring him up then he demands a trade again. What then? Suspend him again? That would end up in the courts. No winners. Tampa loses trying to prove a point to a young man?
