It's been brought up that the team who owns an RFA has a lot of power in negotiations compared to the team who won the bid. An idea has been presented to try and level the playing field. If the player is traded to the winning team the RFA comp picks can be included in the deal along with other pieces to incentivize a deal with the team who bid highest.
Example: Michael Conforto is won with a bid of 4/$22 by Oakland, which has a 1st round team pick and 1st round comp pick. I can match and trade with all 29 teams, but if I trade with Oakland he can offer additional assets along with the comp above as an incentive for me to trade with the winning team.
DM me with any questions on this proposal, or feel free to add comments below.
