Politte is making $900,000 next year with a $100,000 buyout.  His old contract had an option for $1.3 million.

 

Hermanson is making $2 million this year, and $3 million in 2006 witha $500,000 buyout.

santo, where did you find Politte? The only source I could find did not separate the salary and buyout, but listed them both, making me think it was $1 million + the buyout, rather than $900k + buyout. But it wasn't clear. Help!

 

That's weird, I swear I did the Hermanson thing as soon as the $$ were reported. Maybe they were reported incorrectly at first and then updated? Or maybe I was just on crack?

White Sox agree to terms on contract extension with Politte

 

CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension that contains a club option for 2006 with right-handed relief pitcher Cliff Politte. Under terms of the deal, Politte will be paid $1 million in 2005 with the club holding an option for 2006 at $1.2 million (with a buyout of $100,000).

 

The contract replaces the existing one-year agreement signed on Jan. 8, 2004, in which the White Sox had an option for 2005 at $1.3 million.

 

You had it right, Rex.

No, Rex originally had Politte making $1.3 million. The contract he signed last January had an option for 2005 at $1.3 million. The new contract pays him $300,000 less (not that much) than the original contract.

Here you go.

 

 

White Sox signed RHP Cliff Politte to a one-year, $1 million contract with an option for 2006. The White Sox had indicated they'd pick up Politte's option, but this is better. No one else was going to pay Politte $1.3 million after a second straight disappointing season, so there was no reason for the White Sox to do so. Instead, he'll get $900,000 in 2005 and the White Sox will hold a $1.2 million option for 2006 with a $100,000 buyout. Politte had a 4.38 ERA in 54 relief appearances this year before undergoing an appendectomy on Sept. 1.
