Most of the time, the answer to this question is no. However, contracts are written with all kinds of "out" clauses. Sometimes, the reverse is also true, trading a player may cause additional years (options) to be exercised.

What is a player option in Major League Baseball?

'Player Option' is a term for a clause written into a player's contract that allows the player to extend the length of the contract for one year at a predetermined salary.If the player decides not to extend the contract, or 'pickup the option', the contract ends and the player becomes a free agent and can negotiate a new contract with any team.Just like a player option, contracts may also contain a 'team option'. This is a clause written into a contract similar to the player option except the team gets to decide whether they would like to extend the player's contract by one year for a predetermined salary.


If a baseball player under contract from one team becomes a free agent and goes to another team is the first team still obligated to pay is salary?

By definition, a free agent is a player who is not under contract to a team. Therefore, any player who is under contract cannot become a free agent until that contract expires. The situation in your question can never occur.AnswerWell once you are a free agent your previous team has no financial responsibilities anymore. However the new team that the players signs with, depending on the caliber of the player, will be obligated to give up "compensation draft picks" to the previous team. But if you mean a player under contract gets released and becomes a free agent, that does not apply.
