Sports Agent/Option Value
Congratulations! You have been hired as an agent representing Johnny Baseball. Johnny doesn’t care about risk, but he discounts the future at a rate of 10% per year.
Johnny has an offer of $20 million a year for the four years 0 through 3 from the Red Sox.
Johnny’s prospects are uncertain. If Johnny were to strike a new 2-year contract after two years of play on the open market, there is a 50% it would be for $20m a year, a 25% change it would be for $30 million a year, and a 25% change it would be for $10m. These are the values to the Guardians and the values he could get on the open market.
