Reggie Jackson NY Yankees ContractReggie signed with the New York Yankees in 1977. He had a yearly salary of $580,000.00 until 1981. Reggie signed with the California Angels in 1982. I don't know any other details of the contract or if he had a signing bonus.
No. Jim Hunter pitched at Perquimans High School in North Carolina, attracted interest from several major league clubs, and signed with Charlie Finley's A's in 1964, at the age of 18. Not only did Hunter never play college ball, he never pitched in the minor leagues, either. Read "October Men" by Roger Kahn for more on Hunter, and the 1970s Yankees.
Yes, Reggie was traded to the Orioles in April, 1976. He was in the final season of his contract and free agency had just begun. The owner of the Oakland Athletics, Charles Finlay, was not going to spend the money to keep his three time World Series championship team together and he began selling and trading his players at will. Reggie played the 1976 season with the Orioles and, shortly afterwards, signed as a free agent with the Yankees.
