MLB contracts are guaranteed. JV is getting paid for next year whether he's on the roster or not.

The big question that I have yet to be seen mentioned anywhere is how much are getting from his insurance policy?

I assume they had a policy on JV in case something like this happened so I expect they're getting some kind of payout to alleviate his salary in 2021.

Click would not answer whether there is an insurance policy within Verlander's contract that would come into play during the 2021 season he will now miss. As of now, Verlander is scheduled to earn $33 million in 2021 part of the two-year, $66 million extension given by Luhnow last February.

Correa pointed that out during his postgame interview.

He mentioned that although it's October it's the third month of the season and he said that's when they typically settle down and the bats get hot. He said what usually happens in June is happening in October.

I hope he's right. I have to remember to tell myself it's only 1 game but if he is correct and this offense is getting hot I may have to throw some down on the Astros at +800 to win it all.

I personally wasn't buying it and didn't think they could flip the switch after how poorly they had been playing, but that's a plate of crow I'll gladly scarf down if indeed things gave turned around.

Do not bet the future WS odds

Bet on the Astros to win each series, and then roll those winnings + initial bet onto the following series and continue through the WS

Your payout will be twice as much for just a little manual work

What's up with the tents on either side of the dugouts at Minute Maid for the MIA/ATL game?

How does that work with cutting Sanchez last year then?

There is no cap in baseball but it does count. And it can send us into Luxury Tax or whatever it's called.

Edit: Austin beat me to it.

I think it's just a situation where he's cut but we still pay him.

I think there are loopholes like options remaining, whether another team picks him up, and whether it's a MiL or ML contract.

But pretty sure we just cut him but still pay him. Not sure what his contract status was

Sanchez was not tendered a contract by Astros. He's not getting paid anything this year.
