DON’T PENCIL HIM INTO THE OPENING DAY LINEUP JUST YET
Michael Silverman reports that the Sox…reduced its risk and maximized its flexibility by retaining the ability to cut Gonzalez before Opening Day and not be on the hook for his entire salary. If they cut him before March 15, they are responsible for one-sixth, or $500,000, and if they cut him between March 16 and Opening Day, they are responsible for roughly one-quarter, or $750,000. If he is on the Opening Day roster, his $3 million becomes guaranteed. We may not need to endure the automatic out machine. One can only hope!
