Wow. I guess they had to do something, as he was well on his way to triggering the $22M option.

I wonder how that works if another team picks him up at the minimum and he hits the PA. Who would pay?
only if they take over his contract which aint happening So he signs new one at the minumum:suds:

That's not how it works. He's guaranteed $22M this year, and his contract says if he gets 302 more PA this year, next years' $22M option kicks in. It appears a team could really stick it to the Sox by picking him up at the minimum and playing him everyday.

Joel Sherman clears it up:

In most likely scenario in which no team makes waiver claim for or trades for Ramirez, #Redsox will release him in 7 days and at that point the 2019 vesting option goes away for any team signing a NEW contract with him for the pro-rated minimum.


So he's still paid by the Sox for this year (minus the minimum), but the option is dead with a release (which isn't spelled out on Cot's)

Anyway, he's clearly destined to be a Met.
That would give the mets 2 players being paid 43 mil by other teams ( agon gets 21 mil from braves) players must love this its like getting a half mil bonus for stinking up the joint:suds:

I've had a couple of Avi bets with @SlinkyRedfoot here recently and that has made the games a little more interesting. The Stros are headed to NY for a 3 game series with against the Evil Empire......you might call them the Yankees. Any Yankee fans out there want to make a 1 week Avi bet on the series?:suds:

Jays and Red Sox meet this week. Both won their weekend series so should be a good series once again between the 2.
