Nolasco

[HaloNArizona]

Do we pick up his option or not?

 

Ricky Nolasco rhp
4 years/$49M (2014-17), plus 2018 option

• 4 years/$49M (2014-17), plus 2018 club option
  • signed by Minnesota as a free agent 11/27/13
  • 14:$12M, 15:$12M, 16:$12M 17:$12M, 18:$13M club option ($1M buyout)
  • 2018 option becomes player option with 400 IP in 2016-17
  • limited no-trade protection (may block deals to 3 club/year – Boston, NY Yankees and Toronto as of 12/15)
  • acquired by LA Angels in trade from Minnesota 8/1/16, with $17,065,573 remaining on contract (Twins pay Angels $6,371,585 as part of the deal: $4M in 2017 and $2,371,585 to cover the difference in remaining 2016 salaries of Nolasco & Hector Santiago. Twins responsible for buyout if Angels decline 2018 option)

As of now I would say yes

[totdprods]

I think it automatically vests if he hits 203 IP. Believe I read it vested if he pitched 400 IP combined between '15-'16, and he logged 197 last year. If he keeps producing around a 4.00 ERA and stays this durable, absolutely willing to keep him around another year.

I thought this thread was going to tell us that he's injured.  

[AngelsLakersFan]

Decent chance of it vesting. If not $13m is pretty steep. Obviously a lot depends on his performance the rest of the way and how healthy our rotation looks for next year, not to mention the free agent options on the table. I think I would consider it, but from our experience with Billy Eppler I'll be surprised if he does.

[Tyler]

Pay him the 1 mill to leave.

 

Just kidding, the Twins will have to pay it. No brainer, see ya!

Plenty of time for that.

Lou, this should get bumped if/when it happens.

[Chuck]

Good thread. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Seriously.... I'm calling 'dehydration'

[tdawg87]

I know the whole "jinx" thing is tongue-in-cheek, but I don't know why we're making threads like this on May 2nd.

[Make Angels Great Again]

No, better options on the free agent market.

[Angel Oracle]

Can't see him making 203 innings, based on current results so far.   He's also not looking like the Aug-Sept 2016 Nolasco, so far.

[Blarg]

That milestone is based on 6 innings for each start with 34 starts. Most pitchers these days are barely making that 6 inning threshold so it's doubtful Nolasco will be reaching that goal. 

[Dick B Back]

If you can't get through 6, you'll never get to 200.

[zenmaster]

He's breathing, his arm hasn't fallen off, and he can throw a baseball. Lock him up.

When do yo want to think about next year?

 

Based on this teams track record, we need 15 SP's for 2018.

[tdawg87]

Well sure, but I'd wait until at least August before we start thinking about picking up Nolasco's option. He has 5 full months before it even becomes an issue. That's a lot of starts.
