Quoting this before he deletes it
Declining Nick Martinez’s option does more harm to the franchise than good, honestly. Sure, it’s $20 million—but a number he earned going 16-7 with a 3.08 ERA between the regular season and postseason.
Led Tampa in starts, led them in innings, and helped lead them to the World Series.
Now, rather than separating themselves, the #Rays remain a team having never paid a player $20 million in a season.
Not necessarily a bad thing—it is their model, and it has worked—but it is a bat signal to any potential free agent who might view team option as incentive to sign… performance won’t get you there.
Replying to @theaceofspaeder
Martinez declined his part of the mutual option too. His strong performance here should net him more $ on the open market.
