If the money offered by two teams is roughly the same, you can bet the spouse will have a say in which they move to. Maybe the player will get his way and sign with the team that gives him the best chance of winning. Maybe his wife convinces him that having grandparents handy to help her with the kids while he's on the road half the year is more important to the family. That's how marriages work.

Sure. I understand there is give and take.
I'm just saying that if you marry someone who has a huge part of their identity locked up in a certain aspect of their life, one that also happens to set you both up for life, and you don't allow them to follow their dream for only 5-10 years max, knowing that you will have the rest of your life to pursue your own personal desires.......you're probably a pretty selfish person.
I'd like to think that most people are better individuals than that.
