MLB players are not allowed to renegotiate their contracts for less money. At best, the MLBPA allows players to defer money if they get paid a fair interest rate.

I guess I am wrong here. I thought if we do not choose his option, he becomes a FA and can negotiate with any team, including us.

But I do not want him back if we are keeping Willingham. If we do not keep Josh or grab a BIG bat in FA, I would think about it at a much smaller contract. ( providing it was an option ) .
