It never made any sense. I couldn’t fathom why Friedman reported on it – unless he was just looking for clicks.
Jarnkrok would cost us $1.6m in year one and $250k in year 2 – or you could just bury him in the minors for a $950k cap hit; or because his AAV this year is mostly signing bonus, his $2.1m cap hit is only a $775k cost after July 1.
Kampf would cost us $1.7m for two years and then $350k for two more – or you could just bury him in the minors for a $1.25m cap hit for two years. He also has a $1.325m signing bonus, so while he’s got 2 years remaining, year 1 would be heavily discounted in actual dollars.
Reaves would $450k for two years – but if he’s buried, it’s a $200k hit for one year.
None of those contracts would make any sense to buy out. Even Domi – who I still like just fine and wouldn’t buy out – saves $1m per year for 3 years and then costs $500k for each of 3 more years. You save $1.15m by burying a guy in the minors, so the value just isn’t there.
