Major League Baseball and its players association reportedly reached an agreement on how the league will handle issues such as vesting options and roster bonuses on individual contracts during a shortened season amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the news, noting vesting options for the 2021 campaign will still vest at full amounts but the threshold for vesting will be prorated in the 60-game season.
He used St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Andrew Miller as an example, pointing out his vesting option for 2021 of $12 million will still be worth $12 million.
