Clubs Buying Out Arbitration and Free Agent Years
Published 4/22/2008 by Jordan I Kobritz at The Biz of Baseball :: Business of Sports Network
For Evan Longoria, Christmas came early.  After only seven days of Major League service, the Tampa Bay Rays third baseman signed a contract guaranteeing him $17.5 million over the next six years.  The deal could be worth a total of $44 million over nine years if the club exercises certain options.  Because Longoria didn’t begin the season in the Major Leagues, he wouldn’t have been eligible for arbitration until at least 2011, meaning the Rays could have paid him the Major League minimum salary - $390,000 this year - for the next three years and then taken their chances in arbitration for three more years after that. ...
