What's not true? If he doesn't sign longterm this summer, all he has to do is play one more year at 9 million then go anywhere he wants. If he says no to an extension now it means he doesn't want to be here.
Next year we're just supposed to trust that he wants to sign with us when he can go straight to free agency?
And, no, I don't think he has any intention of signing a long term deal this summer whether he played well or not.
His last contract put the team over a barrel and the best way to get out from under it is to trade him. His value in a trade won't get better if we wait until next season.
