Baseball Writers Have no Incentives

The Baseball Writers Association of America has decided to slam the bullpen door shut on award based incentives in players contracts. Beginning in 2013 any player who is to receive bonuses based on MVP or Cy Young award voting, will not be eligible for the awards. There has been discussion about this over the years, but the recent Curt Schilling contract, in which he reportedly will receive $1 million for getting 1 Cy Young vote, prompted the association to take action.
