March 24, 201214 yr http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/03/ryan-madson-out-for-season.html Good thing we signed Heath Bell instead! Good thing I drafted Madson as one of my 759496845687 closers in our ESPN fantasy league 1. Oh wait, nevermind... Looks like Madson might be a bargain next offseason for the team that signs him.
March 24, 201214 yr Wow huge deal.....I was picking Cincy for that division. May have to go for St Louis now. Should help in our quest for a WC.
March 24, 201214 yr At least we had plenty of availability on the FA market for fantasy... f***ing waste of a pick.
March 24, 201214 yr Ouch. He was a big bargain for them going into the season, what a huge waste of $8.5 million that Cincy will never get back.
March 24, 201214 yr Ouch. He was a big bargain for them going into the season, what a huge waste of $8.5 million that Cincy will never get back. There may be something like this but there needs to be some kind of insurance for teams in situations like this. Like the player gets half the salary owed instead of the full amount.

I dont see why you wouldnt consider how often pitchers get injured and how much they paid for the contract. Poor planning.

March 24, 201214 yr I was a huge fan of this contract when they gave it to him, this is just bad luck. No sense in criticizing it now.

I take it a set percentage of whatever the contract is determines the price of the insurance. Does anyone know what the figure is.

Depends on how injury prone the player is, AKA how risky of an insured he is.
March 25, 201214 yr Tough break for both the Reds and Madson. Also sucks for Chapman. He was slated to join the rotation before this happened.
March 26, 201214 yr On 11/9, the deal had reportedly 'hit a snag' with the Phillies CEO not giving approval for a 4/44 deal. On 11/11, the Phillies signed Papelbon. he didn't back out.
