you have to consider the player. Most, not all, players from Japen are very interested in their honor, the teams honor and the games. When Dice asked to be posted I believe he will be seen as dishonored if he does not sign a contract. He honored his team by geting 50+ million for them. he (hopefully) will honor the game by pitching up to the expectations. Now he has to honor himself and sign a contract.
plus how pissed would pissed would the Seibu team be to lose 50 million cuz boras wanted 2 millon more a year. i wouldnt be surpised to hear the Liions giving his family 5-10 millions as a gift to make up for a lower total contract from the sox.
