Rendon is introverted and Arte's attitude is to control the press so the stories always look worse than they are...last year they were hiding that he had a broken leg!

Arte does this to try and protect the trade values of the players...which is really stupid IMO.

Same with contract shape...they will pay the player too much at the end of the contract instead of normalizing it on an average.

I remember telling them it was stupid they wanted to pay me more in the 5th year than I made in the first 2 years combined...but they insured my contract and got it all paid back by insurance when I got hurt and missed time so maybe I was dumb...
