Better than Vaughn

 

Edit: please no one take this seriously 

Non-tender Vaughn, sign Abreu to a minor league contract with an invite to spring training and a minimal salary if he makes the big league team? I'd prefer that to keeping Vaughn. Gets rid of vaughn, who just hasn't worked, and keeps options open for others to come in.

Not a bad plan. Or sign Jose and keep Vaughn. They can split time playing 1B and DHing. Get rid of Sheets, not Vaughn. I think this could work out. Jose must be lifting and pulling again if he has 4 homers. And Vaughn like it or not is our best hitter. Yikes.

If we are going to waste money on "LeAdErShIp" it might as well be with some who is actually well respected. 

I mean, Jose is getting paid $20M in 25 by the Astros. He'd cost the pro rated minimum. He's probably toast, but it'd be cheap toast at least.

How do the rules work on this? 

I think this is what @ChiSox59 is referring to but hopefully he can correct me if I’m wrong…

Quote

In addition, a player with 3 years of major league service may refuse an outright assignment and choose to become a free agent, regardless of whether he has been sent outright to the minors previously. A player with five or more years of ML service time, as with minor league options, is given even more rights. The player cannot be outrighted even once without Veteran's Consent, even if he clears waivers. If the player refuses his assignment to the minors, the team must either release him, making him a free agent, or keep him on the major league roster.

Regardless, in the case of the five-year service player, the team is obligated to pay the player under the terms of his guaranteed contract. If he is released and signs with a new team, his previous team must pay the difference in salary between the two contracts if the previous contract called for a greater salary.

I still have never seen any evidence that he was some sort of team leader. 

The time that Lopez felt something in his elbow, Renteria went out to the mound, Lopez said everything was fine so Renteria went back to the dugout, Abreu walked to the mound, asked him what was up, got a different answer, and Abreu called the trainer back out and Lopez wound up with a short preventative 15 day IL trip was a pretty good day of out-managing the coach for Abreu.
