Players with Options

We have looked at the players that will be FAs, now lets look at the players with options. These players could become free agents if they decide to opt out or their team declines their options, it all matters on what the contract stipulates. A-Rod has a player option, however Dunn has a team option. The line goes name, age, contract stipulations, than OPS+ or ERA+.

Ivan Rodriguez - 36 - $13MM club option for '08 - 113
Adam Dunn - 28 - $13MM club option for '08; becomes free agent after season if traded - 128
Jeff Kent - 40 - $9MM club option vests with 550 PAs this year - 125
Marcus Giles - 30 - $4MM club option for '08 - 106
Juan Uribe - 29 - $5MM club option for '08 - 80
Cesar Izturis - 28 - $5.45MM club option for '08 -67
Alex Rodriguez - 32 - Has ability to opt out of contract after season - 145
Geoff Jenkins - 33 - $9MM club option for '08 - 117
Bobby Abreu - 34 - $16MM club option for '08 - 135
Jose Guillen - 32 - $9MM club option for '08 - 99
Shawn Green - 35 - $10MM club option for '08 - 120
Randy Wolf - 31 - $9MM club option for '08 - 102
Paul Byrd - 37 - $8MM club option for '08 - 105
Tom Glavine - 42 - $9MM player option for '08 - 119
Kris Benson - 33 - $7.5MM club option for '08 - 101
Odalis Perez - 31 - $9MM club option for '08 - 94
Brett Tomko - 35 - $4.5MM mutual option for '08 - 93
Jason Isringhausen - 35 - $8MM club option for '08 - 120

Like the FA's, look for these names to come up in trade talks. My prediction is Dunn will get moved, and he will be the biggest name of all that move.
