I have already posted an article about players who may be eligible for fourth option in 2021, but It was unclear whether the 2020 season, major league games were much reduced and minor league games were cancelled, counted as "full season" or not.
However, there are two interesting news posted today, one is that Erick Fedde is NOT granted fourth option, the other is that Adbert Alzolay is granted fourth option.
From these news, I understand the special rules for 2020 season as follows;- As usual, 90 days or more on the Active List (and Injured List followed to 30 or more days on the Active List) during a championship season shall constitute a “season of service.”
- Days in minors (optioned to alternate training site or not on the 40-man roster) shall NOT constitute a “season of service.”
- Days in majors are counted as "prorated" service time, rather than real service time.
- Prolated service time is calculated by the following formula:
- More than 32 days (prorated 89 days) constitute a “season of service.”
So, I concluded that the complete list of players eligible for fourth option in 2021 is below:
Albert Abreu
Micker Adolfo
Adbert Alzolay
Sandy Baez
Jaime Barria
Luis Alexander Basabe
Jose De Leon
Domingo German
Stephen Gonsalves
Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
Michael Hermosillo
Brent Honeywell Jr.
Franklyn Kilome
Domingo Leyba
Jesus Liranzo
Yohander Mendez
Julian Merryweather
Andrew Moore
Thomas Pannone
Cionel Perez
Dillon Peters
Yefry Ramirez
Fernando Romero
Andrew Stevenson
Lewis Thorpe
Meibrys Viloria
Justin Williams
The following players listed in previous article are NOT eligible, because they spent more than 32 days (prorated 89 days) on the major league active roster in 2020.
Aristides Aquino
Jimmy Cordero
Erick Fedde
Chi Chi Gonzalez
Evan Phillips
Ricardo Sanchez
Burch Smith
Luis Torrens
