Okay, folks, let’s talk about Max Stassi’s contract. This thing’s been a real head-scratcher, like trying to assemble furniture without the instructions.
So, I started digging into this whole mess a while back. First, I went on a hunt for the basic info, like how much the guy’s making and for how long. Turns out, back in 2022, Stassi signed a 3-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels. We’re talking serious cash here, $17.5 million over three years. That broke down to about $3 million for the 2022 season, which seemed decent.
But then I noticed something about the 2024 season. His salary was supposed to be a whopping $7 million! I thought, “Man, that’s a jump!” But here’s the kicker – his adjusted compensation with the Angels was only showing as $740. I scratched my head, thinking, “How does that even work?” This contract was getting more twisted than a pretzel.
Next, I dug deeper. I found out that the Chicago White Sox had him for a bit, but then they declined his $7.5 million option for 2025. What a rollercoaster! This basically made Stassi a free agent. So, he didn’t even play a single game for the White Sox in 2024. That explained why his salary details looked so off.
- Stassi signed a 3-year deal with the Angels for $17.5 million.
- His 2024 salary was listed as $7 million but adjusted to $740 with the Angels.
- The White Sox declined his $7.5 million option for 2025.
- He became a free agent.
Then I stumbled upon another piece of the puzzle – a club option for 2025. It was for $7 million with a $500K buyout. Basically, if Stassi played like he did back in 2020 and 2021, the team could keep him for another year. But, obviously, that didn’t happen.
My Findings
After all this digging, I finally pieced it together. This Max Stassi contract was a wild ride. It had jumps, drops, buyouts, and all sorts of twists and turns. It just goes to show, these sports contracts can be way more complicated than they seem. It took some serious detective work, but I finally got a handle on it. It felt like solving a real mystery!
