SU hopes that he can catch on with some other team. The reason, of course, is that the Yankees, like all professional sports teams, take out hefty insurance policies on many of their players. Jacoby Ellsbury contract details, salary breakdowns, payroll salaries, bonuses, career earnings, market value, transactions and statistics. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images). He is a legitimate shooter in the League. I mean, should they give him credit for having signed the worst free agent contract in team history? Currently, he contributes to the coverage of both the Yankees and the Mets for the New York Times, and hosts a weekly baseball podcast. Randy Miller may be reached at rmiller@njadvancemedia.com. And through it all, there seems an underlying thread that no one wants to verbalize: Neither the Yankees nor Ellsbury seem in any great rush to be reunited. There has to be some lasting monument or memento to him in the Stadium. Buy Yankees gear: Fanatics.com, Dick's Sporting Goods, Champs Sports, MLB.com, Lids. This is a guy who started out at Williams College and then transferred to Michigan. They are going to be the poster child for technological cheating. Ellsbury hasn’t played a game yet for the Yankees this season, and appeared in only six spring training games before a relentless cascade of seemingly-minor, albeit slow-healing, injuries began to pop up.

I have Alex Rodriguez pretty high on that list as well. I’m with you on the watch players, not teams bandwagon as well. And in the midst of it all, when it seemed as if he might actually be on the way back, Yankees Manager Aaron Boone had to sheepishly admit that Ellsbury had been sent home from the Yankees minor-league complex in Tampa because he was “under the weather.’’ Boone could barely repress a smirk as he reported the news. As a long-time subscriber to the NBA Season Pass, SU has been reduced to watching favorite players around the League vs. focusing on favorite teams these days. All rights reserved (About Us). In an ideal world, Ellsbury would sit out the remainder of the season, the Yankees would muddle through with a rotation of Gardner, Hicks and Frazier in centerfield – and be reimbursed to the tune of $15,857,142.86.
In fact, it has gotten to the point where some fans, and reporters, have speculated on whether the Yankees and Ellsbury might have come to what is referred to in boxing as a “silent contract.’’ In other words, you don’t hurt me and I won’t hurt you. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. For instance, the Mets have been collecting insurance on their third baseman, David Wright, for the past couple of seasons in which he has missed huge chunks of playing time due to a case of spinal stenosis. His last game was on Oct. 17, 2017 when he pinch-ran for Chase Headley in the eighth inning of Game 4 of the ALCS and scored in a 6-4 comeback win over the Houston Astros. This is not to imply that either the team or the player are engaging in insurance fraud, but that both the Yankees and Ellsbury might be well-advised to take things verrrry cautiously with an injury-prone player approaching his 35th birthday. I cannot understand how any NBA executive would want Carmelo Anthony on their team. Find NJ.com on Facebook. Ellsbury missed his 278th game in a row on Sunday, and with an annual salary of $21,142,857.15, that computes to $130,511.46 per game. Then the coach will put him back on the bench because…….

He never proved himself at the major league level…or even the minor league level. Big dilemma for the Yankees. The Yankees, to their benefit, can afford it. Ellsbury, in the fifth year of a seven-year contract, will collect his $21,142,857.15 salary whether he plays or not. It’s actually a science to look up which teams are playing when, and then to anticipate when your favorite players will actually be on the court.
“Ells is rehabbing,” Boone said. I mean, should they give him credit for having signed the worst free agent contract in team history? The latest is “some back issues,’’ according to GM Brian Cashman last week, that was keeping Ellsbury from taking part in what they like to call “baseball activities.’’. Or, in this case, you stay hurt and we’ll stay happy. Cashman seemed to sense this line of thought last week when, in answer to a question about when, if ever, Ellsbury was expected to return this season, volunteered the following: “Everything that he’s got has been diagnosed, legitimately, by a doctor,’’ as if to forestall any suggestion that the player might be jaking. More and more, the NBA is now an isolation, 1 on1 league.
