Other players have wanted out and demanded a trade. They have threatened to sit out to do so. Some reason Carr is trapped though? If it made no sense then it wouldn't be done. I'll let you consider why it's in the teams best interest to move on and why they usually meet the players demands. They even had to start penalizing players because it was too powerful a move.
If he doesn't want to be here, he can force their hand. The logical reasoning is that he was exploring a trade (Loomis probably too at one point). Moore decided he wanted to keep Carr. They talked and decided to go another year then restructured.
You get the same headlines from reporters wanting to make their noise but the reality isnt as exciting and actually makes sense. All they have to say is "technically at one point he was looking other places", same cya stuff as usual.
