Magglio Ordonez's 2010 vesting option has created a small stir in the last week or so, but there's a small group of players with less-publicized vesting options. Here are updates on a few of them, and please add anyone I missed in the comments below:
Freddy Sanchez will earn $8MM in 2010 if he makes 635 plate appearances this year. The option will also kicks in if he makes the All Star team and bats 600 times. With 290 plate appearance already, it looks like Sanchez will make $8MM next year.
Kevin Millwood has a $12MM option that kicks in after 180 innings pitched. He hasn't pitched that much since 2006, but with a league-leading 106.2 innings logged already, Millwood will likely see his option vest.
It's no surprise that we've heard little about Dmitri Young's $6MM option for next year. It only vests if he bats 500 times, but he hasn't hit yet in 2010. It's safe to say the Nats won't be stuck paying him that much next year.
