This offseason has seen the proliferation of opt-out clauses in long-term contracts, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal writes. Opt-out clauses were so rare in the past that the industry doesn?t have much concrete experience with what their results will be (although, I?ll note, it would be easy to study how opt-outs might have worked in past contracts by imagining what players might have done had they had opt-outs after, say, a year, or two years). The obvious conclusion is that opt-outs are a lose-lose for teams, who should theoretically lose productive players as they opt out while being stuck with the ones who don?t produce. But it might not be so simple, as Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski points out. ?There may be other cases where somebody opts out and after a year ? I?m not going to say this is going to happen but I?ll use it as an example ? after a year something happens to him and he?s not pitching as well, and [a team says], ?See? That was a benefit to us,'? he says. ?So we really haven?t reached that second step yet".
