NEW YORK - Trevor Bauer is guaranteed $40 million if he opts out after one season and $75 million if he opts out after two seasons from his $102 million, three-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But if the 30-year-old right-hander opts out after one season, a large amount of his money would be deferred. He gets a $28 million salary this year, all payable on Nov. 1, and $32 million in each of the final two seasons. If he opts out after 2022, he would receive a $15 million buyout. If it is a buyout, that means another team can’t sign Bauer for the major league minimum and the Dodgers must pay the difference between the minimum and money Bauer is receiving under this contract.
