Yup talked himself outta getting traded to a contender
And still has two years on his contract
I get what he doing TRUST he betting on himself while he has leverage but I have NEVER seen it in baseball negotiations before.
And don't know if it was the smart thing for his career
I hope it works out for him.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague Billy Bean, MLB’s Senior VP for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion and Special Assistant to the Commissioner. Billy, who fought a heroic year-long battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, was 60.
Over the last 10 years, Billy worked passionately and tirelessly with MLB and all 30 Clubs, focusing on player education, LGBTQ inclusion, and social justice initiatives to advance equality in the game for all.
Billy’s 10-year playing career included six Major League seasons with the Tigers, Dodgers, and Padres.
Commissioner Rob Manfred called Billy “one of the kindest and most respected individuals I have ever known” and someone who “made Baseball a better institution, both on and off the field.”
