Contract option decisions to be made by Wednesday
Photo by Richard Rodriguez/Getty ImagesWith the World Series having finished, the 2018 MLB season is now officially over, and thus deadlines for certain decisions are now set. The most immediate deadline is for team and player options to be picked up — that deadline is three days after the World Series ends, so those decisions have to be made by Wednesday, October 31.
The Texas Rangers hold team options for 2019 on four players, and there’s not likely to be much mystery surrounding those decisions. Texas will pick up the $2.375 million team option for 2019 on catcher Robinson Chirinos, and will decline the $10 million team option for Matt Moore, resulting in a $750,000 buyout for him.
