Found this article and it seems that they are receiving at least a percentage of what they would be normally getting paid right now (the article says 3% to 4% of the annual salary, one month on a year contract would be about 8% of the salary). Guaranteed deals are getting the most, and Cozart is a guaranteed deal.
An update on how the Cozart trade is impacting the Giants during the shutdown - Quick Hits: Draft, Player Salaries, Blue Jays
Yup, but this result was almost impossible to call. Still, I thought this move was sketchy from the start. I do wonder if FZ will be a little more gun shy when transactions are allowed or all this pent up energy will make him turn over the entire 40 man roster, twice, in a week.
I liked the trade when we assumed the entirety of the contract would be paid. I still like the trade now.
If not an option year, than a year of experience. I think I prefer the option year.
I knew it was on the table for this year. And the fact that NO BODY is talking about it tells me it is likely a permanent move.
Its amazing all the ways ownership is getting what they want out of this pandemic (shortened draft, reduced minor league system, reduced player salaries, DH in the NL, etc).
I knew there was a conspiracy here, I just didn’t realize it was about getting me to abandon baseball.
I think if you just offered this person your helipad, everything will go back to normal.
