Is Josh Hamilton A Free Agent At End Of Year??

no

his contract expires but he's under club control because they can offer arbitration, which they will, rather than let him walk

he's playing under a 1 year contract worth 3.25 million, which was signed to avoid arbitration.

He is going to want a ton of money

Very very tough here. The man is an admitted addict, and you can only guarantee him so much money without a clause in the contract that it gets voided if he fails a drug test. You can't give him 50 million guaranteed without some protection from his past.

I think he will end up resigning.

In addition to his hitting skills, his defense and outfield arm are incredible and he runs the bases with the best of them. If he can stay clean, he's a top 5 player in the league.

Great player. But there is no way he wasn't juicing the year he won hr derby. the fukkin guy was hitting balls off the wall behind the right field bleachers at yankee stadium.

I just hope he stays clean.
