how much is a baseball player worth don’t understand cash for player why don’t they say how much it is?

So people like you cant put a cash value on a player, which would basically further the idea that the teams ow them like slaves
Ray Ray
These would be really well-paid slaves. Perhaps you need to do a little bit of research on the way slavery actually operated before you compare baseball players to them.

Thank you for posting what I was thinking.

Slaves? The least paid player makes more than the hardest working average joe…

How about you look up what Marvin Miller did for the MLBPA if you think ballplayers are ‘slaves”…

“Cash considerations” usually just means that the Yankees are paying the rest of his contract. Since the Brewers are out of contention this year, they figure they can save a few dollars on him to spend in the offseason. They likely would have released him anyway, but a team willing to pay his remaining salary is even better. That’s my understanding anyway
Yankee4Life27
No. Instead of sending a player in exchange for another, the team just send cash, and usually the team acquiring the player is also on the hook for the player’s contract.

Couldn’t they just have used Gamel in this role?

Not exactly the same type of player as far as speed/baserunning goes

Gamel was traded today.

That’s what he meant, “why trade one outfielder to then trade for another one”, but thechamaleon is right.

Looks like the return the yanks got has some upside.
GO NEW YORK
I have heard Eric Young Jr has lightning fast speed that Yankees don’t have because of all these slow veterans like McCann
