2011 commitments to others:
Trevor Hoffman (option buyout): $750k
David Riske (option buyout): $250k
Jeff Suppan (option buyout): $2M
Gregg Zaun (option buyout): $250k
Doug Davis (option buyout): $1M
Cash from Royals: -$2M
Cash from Mariners: -$1M
Total 2011 Payroll commitments: $86.997
Notes:
- Subject to change slightly, due to the catcher situation. If George Kottaras makes the team rather than Nieves, the payroll would change by about $300k.
- I've taken values from Cot's here. Its worth nothing that Cot's here does not agree with their spreadsheet.
- Pure opinion and speculation: The payroll is basically right a $87M. I would guess that leaves about $3M or so to play around with for call-ups throughout the year. I'd further postulate that it leaves around $5M for an in-season acquisition.
