As Weird Al once sang: "If money can't buy happiness, I guess I'll have to rent it."

I don't know about "most" but it is definitely "some". There are guys who manage to sign big deals elsewhere without badmouthing their old team.

It was annoying when Albert and TLR did it too. It's also something that gets no less annoying with time.

Panda has played a role in breaking my postseason heart for a few years now, although I never really disliked him personally. Yet there is something about playing in Boston that just instantly makes you a terrible person.

Pffft I think this is just Panda's version of "it was about respect, not money". There were probably certain people back in SF badmouthing him for leaving, and this is his way of getting back at them. Not saying its cool or classy or anything, but he'd probably be doing the same thing if he signed with the Yankees or Dodgers or something.
