Show up, do his work, pick up splinters, and smile all the way to the bank. Just get on the DL again. Maybe have an accident at the ATM. Maybe ask for partial payment in coin. That much would be heavy! |

I'd like to see get traded to the Astros Mariners- time for JE to come home. Nelly is in the last year of his contract and there is potentially room for a DH spot once that is up (assuming that Robbie won't take the spot by giving up his position in the infield). But JE's contract/age makes him essentially untradeable which doesn't even count his no-trade clause. The Yanks are going to have to sweet talk him into whatever they can finagle and eat a large portion of the remaining salary. They won't go broke anytime soon but it seems like Hal S. is smarter with the $ than pops was. |

Well... SF traded today for Andrew McCutchen from Pirates.....
so you could cross Giants off that list.
Anywhere Jake would go.... Yanquis are going to have to pay coin....
Could be JE just stays and banks his $$$

Last year was arguably his best season except for the monster 2011 year. But he's 34 and much of his skill set is based on speed. It's good for him but did the Yankees ever over pay! Different subject - when does Michael Conforto get paid? I think the first step is a restricted free agent.

Different subject - when does Michael Conforto get paid? I think the first step is a restricted free agent. MLB salary structure works as so: your first 3 years, you get paid league minimum, then you move into 3 years of arbitration, with generally escalating salaries. After 6 MLB seasons, you are a free agent and can get paid stupid money. Some guys do sign long-term deals before their arbitration years are over, but generally you sign for a slight discount of free agent years, while getting a pay boost in your arbitration eligible years. MLB "service time", "super two" status, and some other stuff can modify these scenarios slightly. If you check Conforto's baseball-reference page he will be arbitration eligible in 2019, and a free agent in 2022. His 2015 rookie season apparently didn't have enough service time to move him up the free-agency ladder, so his six years of "team control" are 2016-2021. "Restricted Free Agency" doesn't exist in baseball. There's pre-arbitration eligible, arbitration eligible, and free agency. SaveSave |

SaveSavehis 2015 season was handled like most teams handle the first time up - if you are called up mid-season, they normally wait until after a certain date, so that partial season doesn't count against the pay scale. Milking as much as you can out of a cash cow - when you are able to get a $10,000,000 performance out of someone you are paying $550,000 for, you take it. |

Yes, there are many ways teams can stave off the onset of arbitration or free agency by keeping players in AAA a little longer here or there. Kris Bryant was famously kept in AAA the first couple of weeks of 2015 so as to delay his free agency. Although, the Cubs are paying him $10 million this year, and he's supposedly not arbitration eligible until 2019, so maybe that didn't work out as well as they wanted? You won't typically see any (good) Tampa Bay Rays or Oakland A's spend more than 6 years with those teams because they almost always trade them away before they reach free agency. Anyhow, given the choice, teams can often gain a full year of service time by delaying a call-up a few weeks here or there. |
