Back-to-back rings. A young, exciting core all under team control for several years. Tons of cash to sign impact FAs. Hookers and blow on GM Shaw's airplane.
Apparently all that isn't good enough for SP Ken 'Hotpants' Bates and LF Martín 'Duck' Marín, both of whom exercised opt-outs to enter free agency.
Team officials privately are celebrating Bates being a nimrod, because he sucks. Anyway, after somebody overpays him in FA, he'll probably end up back in LOU in September a few seasons from now, as the tradition requires.
Team officials (OK, just Shaw) are feeling good about Marin sticking around, as he is currently considering a 1-year extension offer for less than he was slated to make next year anyway.

Bates will certainly be back.
