Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

[wildcard]

After the O's' acquired Soto they had to fix him.  Which they did by simplifying his delivery.   After they fixed him he pitched 20 games, 16.1 IP to an ERA of 1.10 and a FIP of 2.62.

I don't know the O's would not want to retain him.

One vague quote from Hyde (that doesn’t actually say Al will be an FA) reported by Roch and suddenly everyone thinks a player on our major league reserve list with two years of service time will magically become a free agent?  

Can anyone cite an actual rule or CBA provision that would support this?

Gunnar also signed a one year contract.

Gunner was not a free agent, Albert was.

There is a uniform players contract with limits to special terms. There is a reserve clause in that contract that gives clubs the ability to renew contracts each year unless the player has been taken off the 40-man or accrued six years of service time.

Maybe because he was a foreign professional, which sometimes have clauses allowing early free agency?  I think Fuji couldn’t be renewed last year?  However, that still seems odd for Suarez since he signed a minor league contract.

Minor League contract, to keep him off the 40. One year contact to give the team only one year of control.

This guy was signed in August, pitched a few MLB innings, also "not updated" on Bbref.

According to this he is now a free agent and his MLB page says he has elected free agency.

However, Albert's MLB page says "Orioles activated Albert Suarez" on October 3, does not say anything about free agency. Hm.
