Rodriguez and Martinez received a large salary by opting out
he contracts of American professional sports players are simple yet complex.
When the free agent market opens, frequently mentioned words include club, player option, mutual option, buyout, and opt-out.
The Arizona Diamondbacks signed a four-year, $80 million contract with Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (30) eight days ago. Adding Rodriguez to the starting rotation of the D-backs, who advanced to the World Series with the bullpen of duo Jack Gallen and Meryl Kelly, is a huge success. He recorded 13 wins, 9 losses, and an ERA of 3.30 this year.
Rodriguez is from the Boston Red Sox. He played for 6 seasons. He raised his stock in 2019 by appearing in 34 games and going 19-6 with a 3.81 average. However, he did not play the season due to health reasons during the coronavirus pandemic. He went 13-8 in 2021 with an earned run average soaring to 4.74.
Rodriguez's value on the free agent market has fallen. After the 2021 season, he signed a five-year, $77 million free agent contract with Detroit. His annual salary is $15.4 million. An opt-out clause has been inserted here. Opt-out, which is a selective withdrawal from a contract, is a free agent. In his first year, 2022, he recorded 5 wins, 5 losses, and 4.05 due to injury.
He announced his opt-out after the 2023 season. Rodriguez, who was born in Venezuela, explained the reason for using the opt-out, saying, “I will work close to my home country for my family.” The Florida franchise, Atlanta, and the Eastern teams are geographically close to Venezuela. Phoenix, Arizona is far away. In the end, I opted out because of money. Ryu Hyun-jin's contract with Toronto was worth 4 years and 80 million dollars. Annual salary of 20 million dollars.
Opting out is an absolutely advantageous condition for the player.
Nick Martinez (33), a dual pitcher who has been in the San Diego Padres starting bullpen, is also an opt-out beneficiary. Martinez played for Nippon Ham and Softbank in Japanese professional baseball from 2018 to 2021. After returning from Japan in 2022, he signed a one-year contract with the San Diego Padres with an annual salary of $1.5 million.
After the season, he became a free agent by opting out and renewed his contract with the Padres. 3 years, $26 million. His annual salary is $8.66 million. However, the first year of his contract, 2023, had an annual salary of $10 million. He received $1 million in a buyout when he opted out, leaving San Diego with a total of $11 million. Martinez, who became a free agent, signed a two-year contract worth $26 million with the Cincinnati Reds on November 30. He is guaranteed an annual salary of $14 million.
LA Dodgers bullpen Joe Kelly was traded midway through this season. He signed a two-year, $17 million contract with the Chicago White Sox in November 2022, with a club option for the third year. If the Dodgers use the option, his salary in 2024 will be $9.5 million. The Dodgers did not use the option and released it through free agency. And we renewed our contract with Kelly. 8 million dollars per year. The Dodgers reduced their budget by $1.5 million. Kelly is popular with the Dodgers. He graduated from UC Riverside near Los Angeles.
Former LA Dodgers Cody Bellinger (28), who won the National League Rookie of the Year in 2017 and MVP in 2019, is ranked first in the All Free Agent fielder rankings. In 2022, the Dodgers released Bellinger, who had performed poorly for two consecutive years, as a non-tender. Non-tender is a system that does not allow contracts to be signed as a factor in salary increases. He becomes a free agent immediately. Bellinger's 2022 salary was $17 million.

The Chicago Cubs signed Bellinger to a one-year contract with an annual salary of $12.5 million and a buyout of $5 million, for a total of $17.5 million. The second year is a mutual option. Bellinger, who made a comeback with the Cubs, rejected this option and became a free agent, poised for a big hit. Bellinger's agent is Scott Boras.
San Diego recruited starting pitchers Michael Waka and Seth Lugo ahead of the 2023 season. It was a one-year plus contract. Waka was a club option and Lugo was a player option. Waka became a free agent because the club gave up his option, and Lugo gave up his option as a player. During the Soto trade, Michael King was acquired from the New York Yankees to fill the starting void.
