A Question About Contracts
I'm curious as to how Mark Redman's contract works. I understand the $4.9 million team option, and the $4.5 million player option, but I don't understand how those are approved. When we were talking about exercising our option, Redman said he wouldn't accept and test the open market. Do we have the same refusal capability if Redman exercises his option, or is it more of I'm taking this, your stuck with me? It could be the latter, or worse yet it could be that we exercised our option a while ago and it's still on the table.
I will be hoping that Redman finishes the season in much the same way that he started, if not for that the Pirates may win a few games down the stretch, but that Redman gets the idea that he's worth more then five-million dollars, and we aren't forced to pay him or play him next year.
