I didn't know he's into the derivatives markets.
=============
Hampton, who has missed the past two seasons recovering from separate
surgical procedures on his left elbow, is in the final year of a $121
million contract. Whether or not he throws a single pitch, he will
receive $15 million this year.
The only way he wouldn't receive the entirety of this salary would be if
he opted to retire.
============
Hampton: I'm not going to give up $15M, errrr, make it "I'm not going to
give up, I'm just not sure how long it's going to take."
