    I think both sides knew the parameters of what each side would be willing to offer/sign. This isn't a take it or leave it business, but if the Stanton contract is the new normal for top-end players, Heyward wanted to at least be in the low-rent part of that neighborhood.

    PS--I should amend that to "Heyward likely wanted." We don't know what he wants exactly.
