Sounds more like he's betting on himself to have a better season to then be able to cash in bigger in free agency.
That's 100% his own right and not him being a whiner.

I think posters on this board feel he is whining more about fans reaction to his play than his approach to free agency. 100% agree, he has earned the right to test the market and do what he needs to do to maximize his next contract.
