MLB Trade Rumors

12:48pm: O’Day receives a $1.75MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $1.4MM player option with a $700K buyout, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. He’ll actually make the first decision, and if he opts for the buyout, the Yankees then have a $3.15MM club option over the righty.
Technically, because O’Day is guaranteed this year’s $1.75MM salary and that $1.4MM player option, one could call this a $3.15MM guarantee over a two-year term. However, since only the buyout is technically factored into the guarantee under the luxury tax, it’s a one-year, $2.45MM deal for luxury purposes. Ultimately, if O’Day pitches well enough to decline that player option but still have the club option exercised, it seems he can earn a total of $5.6MM between 2021-22.

MINNEAPOLIS For Eric Kubota, there was a tangible sense of relief when he saw that Kim Ng had been hired by the Miami Marlins to be their new general manager in November.
Kubota, the director of scouting for the A s, laughs as he describes himself as an old-school baseball dinosaur who has somehow been in baseball longer than Ng herself, who first entered the world of the front office as a White Sox intern in 1990 and finally completed a climb to the top of the baseball operations hill three decades later. Ng s promotion capped a slow but sure rise that took her through three organizations and two league offices before her ascent to the peak.
