‘“It’s not a surprise that he got up there. You’re talking about a guy who’s 25 years old, has already got five years of experience,” Beane said. “We love him, didn’t want to lose him. But it’s a puzzle piece and unfortunately you just can’t keep them all. … We’re always wanting to draft, develop, sign our own. Sometimes there’s big-ticket items and you can only pay so many guys. So when you’re talking about a guy that just hit an $18 million (average per year), that’s hard. That meant if you’re going to pay that, then you may say ‘We’re going to lose this other guy or we’re going to move on from him.’ You make decisions. You do the best you can. You don’t want to lose a guy like Tremaine.”’
