The level of the player doesn't matter.
If a solid 3B has a team option for $7 million after the year, and he's worth more on the free agent market, why not just refuse to play in September until the option is declined? Then he can go out on the open market and get more.
If a player on your team refused to play important games while he was under contract, you'd be upset, wouldn't you? Is that really such an unreasonable stance?
