I don't think that's it at all. Those who are sympathetic with Dickey in this case are that way because it appears they're keeping him at arm's length while they try to deal him, disingenuously saying it isn't personal and that their preference is to keep him while obviously trying to shop him actively. It appears they're not being forthright with him. Few are criticizing them for shopping him, but the way in which they're going about it clearly leaves much to be desired.

I remember when we made an offer to Bay a couple of years ago, only for him to sit on it in hopes of a better one, or if the reports are to be believed, a comparable one from somewhere else, and the fans crucified him for his stalling. I tend to think the fans will rail against the party who isn't acting on the level.
