The notes and old contract stuff is a friggin mess! I posted it all, but reading back, it confuses me! Especially the salary notes and charts from when he was traded from Texas to New York.
This contract got officially signed on December 13, 2007. It doesn’t appear to be as heinous to keep track of as the last contract (especially after being traded from Texas), but still has some insaneo numbers. The yearly salary numbers are listed above, but a few notes:
These are the details of the contract that were opted out of at the end of the 2007 season. These were modified per the 2004 trade to the Yankees from Texas, but are now invalid due to the opt-out.
| Year | Salary | Original Deferred (TX Pays) |
Addtl Deferred (NY Pays) |
| 2008 | $24 Million (TX pays $8 Mil) | $3 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2023 | $1 Million (0% Int) – in 2011 |
| 2009 | $24 Million (TX pays $7 Mil) | $3 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2024 | $1 Million (0% Int) – in 2011 |
| 2010 | $24 Million (TX pays $6 Mil) | $3 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2025 | $1 Million (0% Int) – in 2011 |
When Alex was traded to the Yankees in Feb of 2004, his contract was revised in terms of deferred money payments and base salary This chart shows the revisions, and notes regarding his NY salary. I’ve also left the original salary terms below from when he signed with the Rangers.
| Year | Salary | Original Deferred (TX Pays) |
Addtl Deferred (NY Pays) |
| 2001 | $5 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2016 | ||
| 2002 | $4 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2017 | ||
| 2003 | $3 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2018 | ||
| 2004 | $18 Million (TX pays $3 Mil) | $3 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2019 | $1 Million (0% Int) – in 2011 |
| 2005 | $21 Million (TX pays $6 Mil) | $4 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2020 | $1 Million (0% Int) – in 2011 |
| 2006 | $21 Million (TX pays $6 Mil) | $4 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2021 | $1 Million (0% Int) – in 2011 |
| 2007 | $23 Million (TX pays $7 Mil) | $4 Mil (1.75% Int) – in 2022 | $1 Million (0% Int) – in 2011 |
NOTE: This was his salary breakdown as set before the 2001 season started. After the 2001 season, his salary was renegotiated to have more deferred money, but I don’t know what the breakdown of that is.
| Base Salary: $252 Million |
||
| Year | Salary | Deferred |
| 2001 | $21 Million | $5 Mil (3% Int) – in 2011 |
| 2002 | $21 Million | $4 Mil (3% Int) – in 2012 |
| 2003 | $21 Million | $3 Mil (3% Int) – in 2013 |
| 2004 | $21 Million | $3 Mil (3% Int) – in 2014 |
| 2005 | $25 Million | $4 Mil (3% Int) – in 2015 |
| 2006 | $25 Million | $4 Mil (3% Int) – in 2016 |
| 2007 | $27 Million | $4 Mil (3% Int) – in 2017 |
| 2008 | $27 Million | $3 Mil (3% Int) – in 2018 |
| 2009 | $27 Million | $3 Mil (3% Int) – in 2019 |
| 2010 | $27 Million | $3 Mil (3% Int) – in 2020 |
Alex gets a signing bonus of $10 million, broken down into $1 million payments on March 1st and December 1st of every year between 2001 & 2005.
