Why is it safe to say that? Do you have access to Treliving's phone logs or something?

I think it's safe to say you pulled that assumption out of your posterior fundamental orifice. We don't know at what point in the process Florida made the offer that Treliving accepted, or how far negotiations with other teams had gone by then.

AGAIN, not saying he could have got a better deal than Florida's, I'm saying he likely could have got a better deal than their initial offers.
So you think Treliving took the best deal he could get, but he still did it wrong because reasons.

If you're selling your old car and somebody offers you $5,000, do you go back and dicker with the guy who offered $3,000 in the hopes that he might go up to $4,000?
