Politte is making $900,000 next year with a $100,000 buyout.  His old contract had an option for $1.3 million.

 

Hermanson is making $2 million this year, and $3 million in 2006 witha $500,000 buyout.

 

santo, where did you find Politte? The only source I could find did not separate the salary and buyout, but listed them both, making me think it was $1 million + the buyout, rather than $900k + buyout. But it wasn't clear. Help!

 

That's weird, I swear I did the Hermanson thing as soon as the $$ were reported. Maybe they were reported incorrectly at first and then updated? Or maybe I was just on crack?

White Sox agree to terms on contract extension with Politte

 

CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension that contains a club option for 2006 with right-handed relief pitcher Cliff Politte. Under terms of the deal, Politte will be paid $1 million in 2005 with the club holding an option for 2006 at $1.2 million (with a buyout of $100,000).

 

The contract replaces the existing one-year agreement signed on Jan. 8, 2004, in which the White Sox had an option for 2005 at $1.3 million.

 

You had it right, Rex.

You had it right, Rex.

No, Rex originally had Politte making $1.3 million. The contract he signed last January had an option for 2005 at $1.3 million. The new contract pays him $300,000 less (not that much) than the original contract.

Here you go.

 

 

White Sox signed RHP Cliff Politte to a one-year, $1 million contract with an option for 2006. The White Sox had indicated they'd pick up Politte's option, but this is better. No one else was going to pay Politte $1.3 million after a second straight disappointing season, so there was no reason for the White Sox to do so. Instead, he'll get $900,000 in 2005 and the White Sox will hold a $1.2 million option for 2006 with a $100,000 buyout. Politte had a 4.38 ERA in 54 relief appearances this year before undergoing an appendectomy on Sept. 1.

Here you go.

So it is $900,000 for 2005. Thanks

So it is $900,000 for 2005.  Thanks 

I think the official White Sox press release, which I quoted, is more authoritive than RotoWorld.

 

You can still look up the press release on the Sox site.

That seems to conflict with the Sox Press Release....... either way, we are only looking at being $100k off, but it would be nice if different sources reported it the same way

I updated the salary list with Timo Perez.......
