The Diamondbacks and righty Derek Law are in agreement on a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training, as first reported by MLB Transactions Daily (on Instagram). Robert Murray of Fansided reports that the CAA client would earn $1.5MM if he makes the roster and has another $500K available to him via incentives. He can earn $50K for reaching each of 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 appearances. He’d then earn $100K bonuses at 50 and 55 games pitched.
Law was excellent for the Reds and Nationals in 2023-24 but didn’t pitch in the majors this past season due to arm troubles. He opened the season on the injured list, and by mid-July the Nats had announced that he’d require season-ending flexor surgery. That procedure came with a projected recovery period of nine to ten months, which would put Law on track for a return in April or May.
More to come.
