    A 6 year deal BUT...........he can opt out after 3. They really need to do away with this stupid contract clause.

    I really would love, like in basketball, a guy like Tom Penn, explains the NBA Contractual in and outs. I would find it interesting listening to the pros and cons of those type of contracts

    Theo Epstein is firmly against no trade clauses. Will not even consider them. Cashman hands out both NTC and these ridiculous opt outs like they are going out of style.

    My stance is that you are being paid your money based on how we value you. If that value changes, you still have your money but we may not have the value, so take the money and years and shut up or sign elsewhere.

    If the players can have such clauses then maybe the owners should have some too.
