Blake Trahan Retires

I doubt he is worried where his next meal will come from, he may have been presented with another professional opportunity. I can’t imagine he would have trouble finding employment. His salary last year was $555k

Not a bad way to clear half a mil. I didn’t realize it was that much. Wonder if they’ll end up being in the area. Pretty sure he’s got that hitting academy right?

He has probably made almost 3 million including signing bonus in his career if I had to guess. I think he does have something to do with a hitting academy and being a former big leaguer I’m sure can do quite well with that.

I find that hard to believe, was he on the big league roster the whole year in 2019? 555k sounds like big league money

Also 3 million seems way high. Wasn’t his signing bonus around 750k? Where are the other 2 million plus coming from? Certainly not minor league ball
Right?

Damn, never woulda thought he made that. Was he up all year or hurt or something. That’s nice

If you are on the 40 man roster and get service time you are paid the league minimum. Or at least that’s my understanding.

He got about $400 k signing bonus in 2015. He did get some MLB time in 2018 and got a nice contact the next year, but never got called up. He played winter ball this year and did not hit well.

https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/cincinna...cash-earnings/ This shows $709,000

709k is correct. My bad.
