The player options hang from the top of the cave and the opt-outs reach toward the top.
Spartacus

Isn't there a section for players families? I'm basing this on for the love of the game.

I'm not sure how it works now, but player option years at least used to be AAV'd. The Beltre contract with the Red Sox had a low value player option in it as an accounting trick to get under the Luxury Tax.
Ben Clemens

So to be clear I have no idea, but this random someone sounds authoritative.

Team and mutual options are not considered guaranteed and not factored into the AAV, but player options are treated as if they're guaranteed years for the purpose of calculating AAV (unless there's a gigantic buyout). This is to prevent teams from offering no-brainer options in an attempt to circumvent the luxury tax.
Ben Clemens

Bam thank you!
La Pantera
9:48
because players families sit in a designated section, generally.
Meg Rowley
9:48
there's variation though
Bam
9:48
No problem, Ben.
Meg Rowley
9:48

BUNT!
mattie
9:49
should have bunted
Tyler
9:50
Why bunt when you can hit homers
Ben Clemens
9:50
Adam Eaton has two of the true outcomes
Plus the most lyin' of outcomes, a bunt.
A true man of extremes.
Dennis
9:51
How many bunt comments did the chat just get!  LOL
Ben Clemens
9:51
Dennis, you can't even begin to imagine.
Or, you probably can. But a lot!

Does John Smoltz dislike Halloween or modern baseball more?
Ben Clemens
9:51
I find Smoltz's Halloween take refreshing.
9:52
Halloween is great if you want to celebrate it, but you shouldn't feel pressured to dress up.
Unless you have kids, in which case, shut up grinch
The Hamburglar
9:52
What's his Halloween take? I've somehow missed this
Ben Clemens
9:52
He thinks it's too commercialized
Hire Joe Morgan?
9:52
It's hard to argue with that....
Ben Clemens
9:53
Yeah Buck asked him about what he was doing for Halloween
In the hey we are friends lets' talk non baseball things that we do as friends
kind of way
And Smoltz was just like, I don't care for it.
Sharp
9:53
He wants us to go back to cowering in the dark, fearing the spirits, playing small ball
The Hamburglar
9:54
I guess it'd be more weird if Smoltz was REALLY into Halloween, and just couldnt shut up about it
Train Noises
