"Berríos could opt out of the final two seasons of the deal, giving him a chance to hit the open market after his age-31 season, when another long-term deal would still be theoretically possible."
"From 2022 to 2025, he posted a 4.14 ERA with a 20.7% strikeout rate, 6.9% walk rate and 41.7% ground ball rate."
"He finished 2025 on the injured list due to elbow inflammation and has started this year on the IL as well, again due to elbow inflammation."
Players face decisions on whether to opt-out of contracts or remain with their teams at the end of each season. These decisions, influenced by health and performance, are crucial for players like Berríos, who has an opt-out option after the 2026 season. Berríos signed a seven-year, $131MM extension but has faced injury issues and declining performance.
