Strong push for Chapman and Jansen coming

Recommended Posts

The issue with these stupid opt-out clauses is that, if the player starts to suck (which is a very real possibility nowadays), then the team will be hampered significantly by the salary. It's fucking stupid in most cases and will eventually blow up in someone's face bad enough that it'll scare most teams from doing it. This is something the Yankees and Dodgers can do. Not the fucking Marlins

They kinda already have this in various forms. There are things like team options and well, teams can DFA or release players whenever they feel like anyways.

 

Yes, but if you DFA a player you still have to pay him unless he is claimed by another club.  The opt outs only favor the players.  If they regress then they don't opt out.  If they play up to or above the contract, then they can be a free agent again.  It's really a great deal for the players.  They should have addressed that in the CBA and tried to get rid of the opt out clauses.
