The Dodgers Claimed Matt Angle

[Ampontan]

The wording of the contract on a Minor League deal could have stated that he was to be placed on the Forty Man Roster by a certain time frame. The MLB deal could have been bought out by this clause in the contract and a few dollars more in the form of a bonus IMO.

I'll defer to your superior knowledge of baseball contracts, and the knowledge of what transpired during the negotiations for this one.

It is not a "Superior Knowledge", just that over the years contracts have had a similar wording agreement between parties. This point of signing a rule 4 player to a MLB Contract is water over the dam and not worth an argument and also will be the last of its kind until the next CBA.
