That's true, but it's still money Albies would have to pay at some point.
Plus, as mentioned, he's with a fairly small agency, so they may have guided him to sign this now, before they lose him to someone else.
Either way, I don't disagree that the contract he signed is fairly terrible for him in the long run.
It should have been a lot shorter than it is and for roughly the same money. 4/35, with higher option dollars.
I agree 100%. I don't believe for a minute that former player, Tony Clark is qualified to run the MLBPA.
The past leaders were guys who were smart as fuck lawyers. Tony Clark was an interested player rep while playing. One of these things is not like the others
