    ah poor Zimmer

    Jays should hire someone to follow LG around and document everything he does, figure out what makes him tick.

    exactly how romo should be used thornton moves to higher leverage work also - kids are better off with two daddies or mommies that love them, then a daddy and mommy that hate each other

    So anyway $30M guaranteed rising to $60M based on playing time, or $45M guaranteed As Shohei Ohtani, what do you take?
  7. Jimcanuck
    Not really. The CBA will have specific terms regarding contract terminations, and what A-Rod wanted to do wasn't in those terms. The bar is very high to imply terms to a Contract. What you are suggesting happens is very rare.
  8. Jimcanuck
    When you miscontrue what others have posted, the name calling is fully warranted
  9. Jimcanuck
    If the CBA doesn't cover it, MLBPA is fully within its rights to not allow it

    FFS connor I suggested no such thing..... f***ing moron

    it wouldn't be a non-guaranteed, it would be a guaranteed with bonuses and sure if the union agreement has a condition that hasn't been enforced, law of waiver applies and any future attempt to enforce it probably won't fly. that has nothing to do with what is being discussed
  12. Jimcanuck
    plus Jansen would not be a tough sign, I'm sure an extension can be worked out if needed
  13. Jimcanuck
    Doesn't affect any other player. Every player strikes their own bargain, within the rules that have been set.
  14. Jimcanuck
    Dealt with unions for many years
  15. Jimcanuck
    Of course you can, lol

    You are wrong, the intent of the parties is what is written and signed off on. No idea what you mean by "spirit", that is meaningless.
  17. Jimcanuck
    Understand that. But as long as the Contract agreed upon by player and team does not break any of the bargained rules, MLBPA can do nothing.

    So as written what you suggest is doable: Incentives in contracts allow players to earn additional money by achieving certain predetermined benchmarks. Major League Baseball's Basic Agreement prohibits incentives from being awarded based on statistical achievement. Thus, playing time is the near-universal means by which players receive incentives. Pitchers with incentive-laden contracts typically trigger the incentives based on number of innings pitched, number of games started, number of relief appearances, number of games finished, etc. Hitters will most commonly trigger incentives based on plate appearances. Some contracts also contain roster bonuses, which reward a player simply for staying on the active roster for a certain number of days. In the 2011 wave of collective bargaining agreement negotiations, milestone bonuses were prohibited by the league, meaning that players can no longer receive contractual bonuses for reaching plateaus such as their 3,000th hit, 500th home run, 200th win, etc. So would Ohtani take $30M guaranteed with playing time bonuses that can bump it to $60M over $50M guaranteed, say?

    As long as the salary adjustment is not tied to injury. An IP or AB trigger would have to be prorated (reduced) based on IL time. I'm going by a recollection of a prior discussion on here.

    I picked up Spencer Howard for free a few weeks ago to stash in the minors. He laid down a 7 innings, 11K, 1 hit, 1 BB gem in AAA last night. Only a matter of time before he gets called up. HMU if interested.
  21. Jimcanuck
    Been raised before in relation to other players. Apparently this would be verboten with MLBPA
