Is that 3 yrs/$3M or 3 yrs/$3M/yr (total $9M)? Just need to know for my BM2k10 roster (whether it will be default or just a mod TBD at this time).

It hasn't been officially announced yet, but reports say its 3 years, $4 million total.

So, it's approx $1M/yr for 3 yrs, then?
Right.
From Rotoworld:
Red Sox signed RHP Junichi Tazawa to a three-year, $3.3 million contract.
Tazawa gets a $1.8 million signing bonus, $450,000 in 2009, $500,000 in 2010 and $550,000 in 2011. The 22-year-old is expected to begin next season in Double-A. As varied as the scouting reports have been, it's tough to get a grasp on just what kind of upside he has and whether he profiles best as a starter or a reliever. The Red Sox, though, are expected to put him into the rotation initially.
Then $1.1M per year?
Not technically:Quote:

so thats 3.3 million over 3 seasons. so if you space out the bonus for the 3 seasons then technically it is 1.1 per year.Quote:

season 3 : $550,000
Well a signing bonus can be paid on how ever it is agreed, all up front, over the life of the contract of a set number of years.
This brings up an interesting question.. what is the point of a signing bonus in an MLB contract ?
For rookie players it makes sense as they are effectively under a capped payscale till they have 3 years MLB exp, ans also in NFL where yearly salaries are not guaranteed.
But in this case, why is there a "signing bonus" and how does it effect the luxury tax?
Usually, to get money up front, I believe.Quote:

He'll be in the rotation by season's end I guarantee.
AAA rotation maybe. :rolleyes:Quote:

And if they dont affect the Lux Tax whats to keep a team from signing a player to a 1 year deal for the league min and an 10m dollar singing bonus ..
not saying anyone should know, but it just seems an odd form of semantics.
Signing bonuses in every leageu are paid in full as soon as the contract is signed. Works the same in the NFL...the player is immediately handed a cheque for the full amount of the bonus. The TEAM is allowed to pro-rate it over the length of the contract to spread out the cap hit, but the player gets it all in one lump payment.Quote:
