January 26, 201313 yr QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) Were they able to insure the whole thing? That was one of the problems with some of the long big dollar contracts. Sometimes they could only get a portion insured. Apparently, or at least a huge portion. I read somewhere where the Yankees wouldn't really mind it were career ending. It would save them over $100 million. His contract runs through 2018.

Thatis why they think that way. For some of the bigger contracts it may be something like 40% of the contract for a partial season (number of games specified), 75% for a season and 95-100% for a career ending injury. The actuaries look at the probability of each one happening and base it on that. Career ending would save them alot.
