Situations like this are where we feel the ripple effects from wasting multiple 1s in the Lance deal.
Yup. If I'm the Niners, I play hardball with BA. He's under contract. If BA opts to sit out games, it only hurts BA in the long run. Make him play this year at 14MM and look at extension next year. We hold all the cards here. BA signed the contract, now shut up and honor your word BA.
