How do the options work if Gattis was still an Arb eligible next year? If my memory serves me right he has been an arbitration guy since he made the league in just curious how options can come in to play

As part of their agreement to avoid arbitration last year, his contact included a club option for this upcoming season. if I remember right, that was added after concerns over his physical.

Thank you. I didn’t realize teams could do that

I never understood why there were doubts about his option getting picked up. A catcher with an .800 OPS? Even with serviceable defense, there’s nothing else resembling that production for that price in Free Agency or on the farm

Would Gattis been more expensive if left to arbitration? Or was picking up his option cheaper?
