I think most vesting options just disappear when that player no longer plays for the team that is in ownership of the contract. Unless another team picks up the exact contract, it doesn't apply anymore.

Correct, Oakland nullified the vesting option by cutting him before the required amount of at bats that make it vest, but paying the rest of this years contract in order to do so.

His contract was with Oakland. When they released him he now requires a new contract with his new team which includes none of the former stipulations.
August 17, 20223 yr Here is the way I look at it. At this point, I can’t really see a good reason why you wouldn’t acquire him. I don’t really see the downside.

Andrus was rumored to be next. Right place right time, got lucky it being an hour before it happened.

Certainly don’t think he’s a savior but he’s not going to hurt this team and he may help a bit so sign me(and him) up. Edited August 18, 20223 yr by Rowand44
