S...I should've elaborated more on the contract. So MLB contracts definitely mean something in the baseball world. All of the players you're following in the DR, for instance, had to obtain a release from their parent club if they're under contract with an MLB team. It's similar with other leagues. Even if I wanted to just play in Italy this summer, I'd have to be released from my current contract.<br /><br />When Sadowski's agent, Brian Grieper, was originally approached by a Japanese team this summer, the Japanese team had to put in an offer to the Giants to buy out his contract. In free agent contracts, there is often a buy-out clause (usually a couple hundred thousand), but in standard original minor league contracts, there is no clause. The Giants could ask for whatever they wanted. A Japanese team made a reasonable offer, but Sadowski was called to the bigs and the offer was rescinded. <br /><br />Knowing that Asian teams were still interested, Sadowski had a clause inserted in his contract with the Astros allowing him to still be pursued. The Asian teams had around a month to make Sadowski an offer without having to buy out the Astros contract. If Sadowski chose to accept an offer, which he did, the Astros then had a period of a couple of days to either put Sadowski on the 40 man or let him go. They ultimately decided that they didn't want to put him on the 40 man. <br /><br />These types of clauses are not as prevalent as buy-out clauses, but they're inserted every once in a while. In the Sadowski's case, it was a great move. I applaud his agent. <br /><br />Make sense? Great question by the way.gbroshuishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209222117346858634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877889513063391266.post-57067815966185335582010-01-05T16:13:20.517-06:002010-01-05T16:13:20.517-06:00Yo Brosh, another nice suitcase chronicles article...Yo Brosh, another nice suitcase chronicles article. I love the link to the Korean baseball story too. Even though I am the Dominican Baseball Guy, I am interested in all the international aspects of the game.<br /><br />Can you tell me how Sadowski signed with the stros, then just went and signed with an Asian team. I guess an MLB contract means nothing in regards to other leagues.<br /><br />...Still looking forward to the article on salaries. Guess Sadowski did what you would do. I don't see how any minor leaguer could turn down 300K guaranteed. Good yearly paycheck in any profession.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513528352309358183noreply@blogger.com
