Bradley Signs with Cubs 3/$30 million (p. 33)

[cubbinalltheway]

i think both are very good at their profession. the players are the ones who didnt do jack in the playoffs.

Lou pisses me off sometimes, and he's not the best manager in baseball but he much, much better than Dusy.

Jon Heyman with some very interesting stuff on Bradley's contract.

 

SI.com[/url]"]After actually viewing Milton Bradley's contract, it appears to be a $20 million, two-year deal, not a $30 million, three-year guarantee as has been widely reported (including here). While it's very likely Bradley gets the $30 million, the complicated agreement appears to suggest that he needs to spend fewer than 75 days on the disabled list in 2009 to guarantee the full amount. And that's no guarantee for Bradley, especially with him having to play the outfield. Perhaps they only told him it was $30 million so he wouldn't get mad.

That's 5 DL stints. They all have to be in one year?

15 days is the minimum per stint, not the maximum.

Guys can stay on the DL for 20 or 30 days, whatever. That's not necessarily 5 DL stints. It could be one or two. 15 days is the minimum before you can bring a guy back off of the DL.

That's it? That's the requirement?

[cubbinalltheway]

better than nothing i suppose, but its basically saying "as long as you dont miss more than 2 and a half months this year, we'll assume you'll be fine in 2010 and reward you with another 10 million bucks to stick around in 2011"

The Cub Reporter pointed out that Gordon Wittenmeyer reported it as a multi-layered set of clauses, so it may not be that simple.
