Jen signs 1 year $300k Deal

Term: 1 Year
Base: $300k
Options: 2010 team option at $350k
Incentives:

  • Player will earn $500 for every post game interview that she does NOT mention how great she performed. That amount doubles if the interview is after a team loss. (This is the club's way of teaching the player that there is no "I" in "TEAM")
Other clauses:
  • Player will be given double locker space so that post game interviews can be conducted in an orderly fashion.
  • Team will pick up diaper service costs while player is on the road thanks to diapers.com
Comments: As I suspected, this negotiation went VERY smoothly. In fact, I should have played some hard ball with the Player since it seemed the only thing that was important was the amount of press the player received and NOT the monetary compensation. Player makes Reggie Jackson and Manny Ramirez look like a total team players!
