jrry32 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Three years? If that last year is guaranteed, yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to NFL Gen - you get a week in the penalty box for this. EDIT: Ken Rosenthal really left me out to dry on this one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically though writers and teams don't include options in the length of the deal. So if Happ agrees to a 3 year deal, the team option would be for a hypothetical 4th year. The exceptions to this are really weird contracts like Jake Arrieta's with the Phillies, or presumably the contract that Bryce Harper will sign where there are tons of opt outs and they just have to describe it in detail. But for a boiler plate X+1 team option type deal, they usually just report that it's an X year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo18287 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Happ is 36. Get why he wants 3 years, but that’s rough to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably do 2+ a team option but make the buyout on the team option a pain in the *** for the team. Something like $14MM year 1, $14MM year 2, $14MM team option for year 3 with a $4MM buyout, so the net is $10MM. Yankees get out of it if Happ completely bombs year 2, but Happ gets decent security knowing that the net $10MM would be hard to do much with on the free agent market.

GmenSeattle Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Not sure I'd hate a 3 year deal, much prefer it be a team option though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
