Title: Contract Question
Post by: lp815 on February 09, 2010, 01:50:01 PM
Ok, so I landed J.P. Howell for $2.5 million.  The only way I can sign him is to a 1 year, $2.5 contract.  My question is, can the winning bidder RAISE a bid, if he chooses to, from the initial winning bid, to be able to give a player more years on a contract.  If I was to up him to $3.0 million, I'd be able to have him for $1.5 for two years.  I could see it from both sides: yes, your giving him more money, but as the same time, his annual salary decreases.  A mistake on my part to not bid an even amount, but I guess I want to confirm whether I can or cannot do it.  :koolaid:

Yes, you can divide the $2.5m into a 2-year contract by making it $1.25m annual salary.  Such a salary is invalid and it must be rounded up to the nearest half-mil, so there is your 2-year $3m contract.
