Opening Day Roster Predictions

[Laika]

(3) Any Player who has a right to refuse the assignment of his

contract under paragraph 2(a) above may grant consent to an

assignment of his contract in advance of any specific contemplated

assignment if such consent (a) is granted not more than ten (10)

days prior to the start of the championship season for which the

consent is given, ( is in writing, © designates the assignee Club

and (d) requires that the assignment take place within 45 days from

the start of the championship season or the date on which the consent

is granted, whichever is later. The Club shall provide a copy of

the Player’s consent to the Association contemporaneously upon

the Club’s receipt of such consent. Any Player with at least 4 years

and 127 days of credited Major League Service may grant consent

to an assignment prior to accruing, and to be effective after he

accrues, the five years of credited Major League Service necessary

to refuse an assignment without his consent, in accordance with

paragraph A(3). No Club shall attempt to secure, by any Major

League terms included in a Minor League Uniform Player Contract,

an advance consent to an assignment to a Minor League club,

and any consent so secured shall have no force or effect. All effective

advance consents shall include the option for the Player to

elect free agency. Any such elections made pursuant to the advance

consent shall require written confirmation by the Association, as

set forth under Article XX(D)(3).

Personally I don’t think they would commit 4M to Votto and Vogelbach if it meant they had no room at the deadline

 

the 2.75 they traded away in Espinal looks even more important then in addition to the fact that he sucks.

[saskjayfan]

did you miss the part about this "advanced consent" s***?

I guess if DV says yes before the season begins, the Jays could outright him or cut him up to 45 days into the season and only pay him his pro-rated salary.

 

Shi Davidi doesn't mention the "advanced consent form" in an article on sportsnet prior to roster decisions, if they didn't ask him to sign it. I would say it's highly probable they did ask him to sign it and we have 45 days to release him.

Yeah Shi didn't think of it on his own. Team told him they did it probably

I'd like to see Danner in MLB over Pop with Romano and Swanson on the IL. He had a decent spring and misses mote bats than Pop.

 

And hopefully this is Pearson's coming out party as a legit high leverage reliever
