I have a question about a hypothetical situation.
Let's use SP Gavin Gloyd. He's signed to a guaranteed contract of $7.0M in 2012 and he has a club option of $9.5M in 2013.
Regardless of whether he gets traded or not, what happens in this league if a player with this sort of contract structure works a deal with their controlling MLB team to restructure the contract?
For example, if the White Sox have extension talks with Floyd and extend him to 2014 with guaranteed money, what happens to the contract in this league?
Thanks for any clarification. I'm not use to using club options in a fantasy league.

Extensions don't matter. Once you have a player in a real life contract, that contract is his contract for you, whether he signs a real life extension or not. That is the players contract until it runs out. Then you could tag the player to receive whatever extension they may have signed. I will explain club options once I have a keyboard and not on my phone unless someone beats me to it.

Hey Jordan,
this is something I was wondering about too. Here is a simple situation. I have Jake Peavy. For 2013 he has a Club Option of $22m, and a buy out of $4m. If the Sox buy him out, how much does it cost me?
Thanks

@jordan So if the contract in this league is 12: $7.0M, 13: $9.5M (club option), that's the contract. Even if the team extends the player, overriding the contract in real life, it doesn't override the contract here.
It sounds like the club option would be lost too, however, if the team restructured the contract before the club option could be made. Thoughts?
@dave I'm curious of that as well.

Buy outs are ignored. We only honor the club option. And you as the owner of the Full Count team have the choice over the club option.
So here:
12: $7.0M, 13: $9.5M (club option)
Once you have this contract, whether he gets extended or not, YOU have the choice over that club option, not what happens in real life. Basically works like dropping a PP player, if you drop the PP player before January 1st, you dont owe the PP player for that year. If you drop Gavin Floyd before January 2013, you wouldn't owe half of the 9.5M since it was a club option, and that would be the equivalent of declining the option.
So if the White Sox declined Peavy's option, that doesn't matter for you. You decide whether YOU want the contract or not.
