Lofton wants "real" money

You have to wonder if OF Kenny Lofton really wanted to play for the Rays. Or for anybody.
According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Rays offered a major-league contract for more than $1-million and the soon-to-be 41-year-old deemed it not good enough - and somewhat insulting - even though he doesn't have any better options at this time, having already turned down a minor-league deal from the Reds.
"From what I've done in the past, it should warrant me getting a real offer, a real understanding about what I've done on the field," Lofton told Rosenthal. "I feel like I went out last year and did what I was supposed to do to show people that even though I'm at a certain age, I can still get the job done. Do people respect what I do on the field? It seems like maybe not."
Lofton signed a one-year $6-million deal last season with Texas and was traded to Cleveland.
