Chris Capuano's Mets Contract Incentives

Stay connected for news and updates

Adam Rubin has the breakdown of the incentives built into Chris Capuano's contract with the Mets on top of the $1.5 million he is guaranteed.

$125k for 15 starts
$150k for 20 starts
$75k for each start from 21 through 31
$100k for 32 starts
$100k for 20 relief appearances
$100k for 30 relief appearances
$100k for 40 relief appearances
$100k for 50 relief appearances
$100k for 60 relief appearances

The total here is $1.7 million but Rubin seems to indicate that there's a cap of $1.2 million on combined start-relief incentives. At all events, it seems unlikely that Capuano would start 30 games and come out of the bullpen in 60 others.

$50k for 90 IP
$100k for 100 IP
$100k for 110 IP
$100k for 120 IP
$100k for 130 IP
$125k for 140 IP
$175k for 150 IP
$175k for 160 IP
$200k for 170 IP
$200k for 180 IP
$225k for 190 IP
$250k for 200 IP

Capuano would earn $1.8 million if he pitches 200 innings. There's also a $50k bonus for making the All Star team and a $150k bonus for winning the Comeback Player of the Year award.

If Capuano makes 32 starts and tosses 200 innings for the Mets this year his contract valuation would be $4.5 million. That's quite a bit more than the $1.5 million base, but if Capuano is healthy enough to make those appearances it's a good bet that he'll have pitched well enough to have earned those incentives.
