Tendering Contracts to Unsigned Players on MLB Reserve List
If an unsigned player is not tendered a contract on December 2nd (or December 1st if December 2nd falls on a Saturday, or November 30th if December 2nd falls on a Sunday), the player is said to be "Non-Tendered," he is immediately removed from his club's MLB 40-man roster, and he becomes an unrestricted free-agent, free to sign a major league or minor league contract with any club, including the club that non-tendered the player. A "Non-Tendered" player receives no termination pay, and the player's former club receives no compensation if the player subsequently signs with another club.
Each unsigned player on an MLB 40-man roster who is tendered a contract must be offered at least the MLB minimum salary ($480K in 2012, $490K in 2013, and $500K in 2014) and (with a couple of exceptions) at least 80% of the player's previous season's salary, and at least 70% of the player's salary from two seasons back.
Some players have a "minor league split" salary in their contract which they are paid if they are sent to the minors. In most cases, a player's minor league "split" salary must be at least 60% of the player's salary from the previous season. The one exception is if a free-agent signs a major league contract with a minor league "split" salary, the "60% rule" does not apply
The minor league "split" minimum salary is $39,125 in 2012, $39,950 in 2013, and $40,250 in 2014 for players who are on an MLB 40-man roster for the first time, and a minimum $78,250 in 2012, $79,900 in 2013, and $80,500 in 2014 for all other players.
I was going to ask about the dark background, but figured it was just my new laptop.
w.castillo takes his 3rd walk of the year...2nd in his past 2 games. trending!
is TCR main page formatting broken or just me? first it was formatting on the right side bar for a few days, now it's degraded into that + grey background page color in a frame for a few days.
-edit- nevermind...just checked with another browser, pretty sure it's not just me. was just wondering cuz no one's brought it up.
I thought the only real insurance was sold when the dealer is showing an ace.
i don't trust small business insurance.
i only buy insurance from companies who have animated spokesmen/women/animals. this is way too important of a life decision to not be influenced by cartoons.
When you put it that way, it sounds brilliant.
If he's selling insurance it should be URCOX.
Ad- "A meteorite destroys your home, everything is destroyed but you have an insurance company that will hold your hand through this catastrophe ... And in your hand you will find URCox."
I have a couple advertising related questions. One regards this site. Who names their small business insurance company HISCOX? WTH is wrong with people? I guess it's better than HERCOX.
And the other is the Cubs games. I guess I've been away from Chicago too long, but, "The Fifth Third Bank?" What kind of a name is that? But worse is the tagline. "The Curious Bank." I guess it works if you're looking for memorable advertising, but I don't want to do business with a curious bank, to be honest. My bank has plenty of information about me.
