The Texas Rangers and pitcher Dane Dunning have agreed on a one year, $2.66 million deal with incentives, per Jon Heyman.
This deal provides for a 20% cut from Dunning’s base salary in 2024, the maximum allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement for an arbitration-eligible player, and is significantly less than the $4.4 million projection from MLB Trade Rumors. I am curious as to what the incentives provide for, and how much Dunning could end up making if he hits them, because it seems like he would be able to do better than $2.66 million guaranteed on the open market, if he is healthy.
