Tinkering with the structure would have brought some much needed budget room in 2023
with their crowdsourcing at three years with a similar salary. Outdoing the salary was probably more about the market being generally stronger, but the real coup was that fourth year.
With Martin, that last year essentially ended up a write-off, and likewise with Ryu the expected value would be almost entirely within those first three years. Perhaps things really works out well and Ryu remains healthy and productive through his age-36 season, but far more likely it ends up a write-off to some degree. The hope being that, also like with Martin, what you get on the front end justified the hit on the backend.
Taking that backdrop into account, to the extent the Jays were going to overpay Ryu, you wanted to do it in the 2020-22 window, when they didn’t come close to the CBT threshold, rather than 2023 . Granted, frontloading cash payments just increases the present value of a given sum; nonetheless, we’ve seen the Jays frontload some contracts presumably to manage internal budgetary considerations.
Instead, the exact same cash deal could have been structured as a three year deal for $20-million, with a 2023 team/player option for $20-million with a $15-million buyout. The Jays would first have the option of picking up the 2023 option , and if they declined then Ryu would have the option .
