Are you sure about that? At least with the Cubans, the Yankees keep putting that clause in which makes the team cut them if there's no contract signed to get around the 7 year arbitration period. I haven't a clue if we did the same thing with the Gooch, but I wouldn't be surprised if we did.
yes. They might have to put him on waivers though. It was a different situation with Contreras because they put a clause in his contract saying that he would be a free agent.
