A quick checklist to keep track of everyone's status as we enter 'The Void' CESPEDES - thru 2018 @ $23.75/per, but can opt out "after the 2016 season" (which usually means after WS is over) REYES - 2018 Option. Not sure of the amount WRIGHT - thru 2020 GRANDERSON - 2017 @ $15M BRUCE - $13M option / $1M buyout WALKER - FA LONEY - FA NIESE - Options for ’17 ($10M / 500K buyout) and ’18 ($11M / 500K) CABRERA - 2017 @ $8.25 plus 2018 option @ $8.5 / 500K buyout COLON - FA DUDA - Final year of Arb eligible DE AZA - FA REED - Final year of Arb eligible HARVEY - Arb eligible FAMILIA - Arb eligible BLEVINS - FA LAGARES - signed thru 2019 + option for ’20 @ $4.5, $6.5, $9.0, $9.5 SALAS - FA JOHNSON - FA R.

I'd hate to have to argue Zack Wheeler's arbitration case.

Can we just sign Kelly Johnson this winter so we don't have to trade for him again?

Ah, the old Akeel Morris Remorse.

Can Bruce demand a release? He's a 5-year vet in the middle of a multiyear contract.

Frayed Knot Oct 06 2016 11:11 PM Re: 40-Man Roster Status

Not that I know of. There is a clause that allows players dealt in the middle of a multi-year FA deal to demand a trade elsewhere but Bruce's deal w/Cincy wasn't a FA deal so I don't believe he qualifies. There's always the chance he may Get traded this winter, but it won't be because he forced it. Benjamin Grimm wrote: I'd hate to have to argue Zack Wheeler's arbitration case. Got to be a little weird to argue either side of that case. There can't be too many comparables to a player with 3-1/2 years of ML service but still less than 50 appearances and all of them more than 2 years in the rear view mirror.

Reyes's 2018 option is for $4 million, but Colorado pays all but $500 k

His Mets deal just gets subtracted from his original Marlins contract which Colorado and (mostly) Toronto are on the hook for. Whatever he agreed to w/the Mets for 2017 is probably fairly small and is virtually a certainty to get picked up.

They essentially get him for the minimum in 2017. It's the no-brainer of no-brainers.

My understanding is that the rule is if you're traded in the *first* year of a multi-year deal, then you can demand something. But I'd think he'll be back.
