That Strasburg deal for instance... Steven gets to decide after 2019, and again after 2020, if he wants out. So basically if he keeps ptiching like this, he goes somewhere else for huge money. If he gets injured again... guaranteed pay for four more years beyond 2020.

I think players saw the control first NBA players and then Stanton got over their own careers. I wouldn't be surprised to see player options become the norm for the highest tier super stars- they have the leverage to demand it and there is almost no downside for the player.
