Davis gets bonus if Rockies trade him
All-Star reliever Wade Davis would get a $1 million assignment bonus if traded by the Colorado Rockies under a provision in his $52 million, three-year contract. If he is dealt, that would trigger a full no-trade provision requiring his consent for any subsequent trades.
The deal, announced Dec. 29, calls for salaries of $16 million this year, $18 million in 2019 and $17 million in 2020. There is a $15 million mutual option for 2021 with a $1 million buyout.
The option would become a player option if Davis has 30 games finished in 2020.
Davis gets the use of a luxury suite at Coors Field if one is available.
