January 17, 20197 yr Please tell me this isn’t what they meant when they said they wanted another reliever.
January 17, 20197 yr Please tell me this isn’t what they meant when they said they wanted another reliever. It's a minor league deal so I highly doubt this is their big addition to the pen.
January 18, 20197 yr It's a minor league deal so I highly doubt this is their big addition to the pen. Maybe they won't give major league deal to FA in this off-season.

January 18, 20197 yr So this guy is getting paid 800K to work out? No, he's getting 800K IF he is in the Majors in 2019. If he's in the minors, it will be less.
January 18, 20197 yr Thanks for clarification - still I perceive this as an astronomical amount for a person who throws a ball - Majors or Minors. Oh gosh, better not see the amount some pitchers are making ...
January 18, 20197 yr Author LOL I understand the "elite" pitchers value - but my goodness, I could never imagine running a business by throwing 800K at literally an arm Min salary is almost 600K these days so it isn’t really much in MLB terms. Salaries seem high to us regular people, but so is revenue for MLB. Players would tell you they aren't earning a fair amount in comparison to what the owners are.
January 20, 20197 yr Thanks for clarification - still I perceive this as an astronomical amount for a person who throws a ball - Majors or Minors. What are the average earning years for someone who “throws a ball” compared to an attorney or a hedge fund manager?
