Before the 1966 season began, Koufax and Drysdale

Before the 1966 season began, Koufax and Drysdale met separately with Dodger GM Buzzie Bavasi to negotiate their contracts for the upcoming year. After Koufax's meeting, he met Drysdale for dinner and complained that Bavasi was using Drysdale against him in the negotiations, asking, "How come you want that much when Drysdale only wants this much?"[55] Drysdale responded that Bavasi did the same thing with him, using Koufax against him. Drysdale's first wife, Ginger Drysdale, suggested that they negotiate together to get what they wanted. They demanded $1 million ($6,770,000 today), divided equally over the next three years, or $167,000 ($1,130,000 today) each for the next three seasons. Both players were represented by an entertainment lawyer, J. William Hayes, which was unusual during an era when players were not represented by agents.[56][57] At the time, Willie Mays was Major League Baseball's highest paid player at $125,000 ($846,000 today) per year and multi-year contracts were very unusual.[58]
