All depends on the players. I think there are players for Astros or Xtreme that have returned out of loyalty

And there are players that have left teams to go play for a Major team.

But this year it looks like there are players leaving major teams to go play AA or maybe they weren't asked back to the major team, not sure.

It all depends on where the player is in their career, their personality, maybe a financial need or no financial need. Maybe they just enjoy playing with a core of players etc.

Really hard to say. I don't think status plays much into it with a veteran player although there are also longtime Major players that would rather retire than play AA again.

Too many variables.

There isn't a lot of loyalty between players and sponsors and there isn't a lot of loyalty between sponsors and players. Its best for both sides to look at each season as a new year and as a new team even if its the same sponsor.
