Derrick Goold of the St. Neither, according to Goold, are the Cardinals themselves. The reason? An arbiter is expected to make a final decision sometime this month, per Fletcher.
It is possible for some players to be granted a fourth option year. This is most typical among players who have missed considerable time due to injury.
Players who are on the man roster and have exhausted those three minor league options before accruing five full seasons of play can be granted this exemption. As Goold explains with regard to Williams, he fell shy of 90 days on an active roster in , and Minor league options — or a lack thereof — will be a considerably driving factor in spring roster moves around the game over the next four weeks.
As a form of instant karma I noticed a pretty bad spelling mistake of mine on a different thread from today lol. Lotta injuries the last few years, man. They pretty much handed us our rumps all summer. Man…I think we beat them… twice? All year. Trying not to remember it too clearly, serious.
As a union carpenter, I tip my hat to you because I know you guys worked all this last year, too. I may not be a union guy, but I have respect for everyone out there building. Especially last year. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners.

Hoover, who is out of options, made it through waivers the first time around when the club elected not to put him on the man roster out of camp.
After the club designated him, the rest of the league gets another crack. If the other 29 pass, the player will stay in the organization. He can still get added back to the man again, but once a player has been outrighted, he can refuse any assignment if a club elects to outright him a second time though he'd forfeit his salary in doing so.
So, if other clubs don't want to add Hoover, he'll have his own decision to make. It's possible he gets a better chance elsewhere as a free agent, where he can sign a minor-league deal without taking up a man spot and have a perceptively easier path to getting placed on the roster down the line.
For what it's worth, Ryan Braun has been in the league far more than five years, so he has the right to refuse an assignment, anyway. Players with more than five years of service time must consent to being optioned. More from Transactions. Connect with MLB.
