Honest question @jtomase.bsky.social @chadfinn.bsky.social @peteabeglobe.bsky.social, why aren’t there more escalation clauses in FA negotiations? In home buying, it’s sort of a cheat code & removes a bit of the back and forth. Set a number, everyone escalates to their top, seller selects from that?
I don’t think the players (or agents, anyway) would look at that as beneficial compared to the current process, a free-for-all among the richest teams.
Interesting! It feels like in the housing example that may be a tool that benefits buyers in competitive markets (keeping ultimate purchase costs down), whereas it may be detrimental to sellers (players) in a competitive market. It’s just interesting that’s it’s never even brought up as a club tool.
