The rest of the contract doesn't - it's just that Oakland is liable for it. I think most vesting options just disappear when that player no longer plays for the team that is in ownership of the contract. Unless another team picks up the exact contract, it doesn't apply anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, Oakland nullified the vesting option by cutting him before the required amount of at bats that make it vest, but paying the rest of this years contract in order to do so.

When they released him he now requires a new contract with his new team which includes none of the former stipulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Here is the way I look at it. At this point, I can’t really see a good reason why you wouldn’t acquire him. I don’t really see the downside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly don’t think he’s a savior but he’s not going to hurt this team and he may help a bit so sign me(and him) up.
