By letting a high-priced FA leave or removing those external ones from the market before even "kicking the tires", you increase the risk of not finding a quality replacement and have to keep trying to use draft picks and/or middle-tier FAs to replace them. And in the end it could end up costing more than if you had just kept/signed the upper-tier guy to begin with.

Exactly.....it's like they can't see past their noses.  All they see is the money NOW, and not looking further down the road at how it could potentially cost you more in the long run.  Very bizarre, considering how they preach "future" when they give us the FA savings schpiel, and when they let some vets walk out the door......like a JJo, or Whit.
