Cot's Contract's would likely be your best bet.

I was going to suggest that too, but I looked at the spreadsheet and no luck - Cot's doesn't list for the guys he's talking about. They don't even have Corey Brown in their spreadsheet!

It still should give an idea as to what they make. Low 400's.

[HalfSmokes]

Cots contracts has all the salary info,  I'd paste a link,  but my sg3 no longer has cut and paste ability (apparently a fix is coming out in December,  so yay),  but if you search for cots nationals,  you'll find it

Edit,  people beat me to it,  it'll be way lower than the 400s- $2150 per month is aaa minimum (half that for lower levels)

Thanks houston, Linty and HalfSmokes. I have them penciled in making the same amount as Lombardozzi ($481k) right now, should be close to accurate and isn't a big deal if it's not exact.

That's a cool site though, I'm sure I'll be referring to that a lot in the future.

Affeldt got 3 years and 18 mil.  I don't match that if I'm the Nats.  No way do I go 4 years at 6 or even 5 mil per year.

Bring back Gorz and Michael Gonzalez as the 2 lefties.  Use the leftover 3 or 4 mil and put it towards the 5th starter or another outfielder.  Someone who will have a greater impact than a situational reliever who will pitch maybe 60 innings over the course of the year.

[Kevrock]

Wow, 3 years for Affeldt?

Man, I'd really like Burnett back. Gorz and Gonzalez?  I hate the idea of our bullpen getting worse.

[hammondsnats]

gonzalez is fine.  sorry folks, he was more than serviceable last year.  but i'd like to get burnett back too.

@washingnats

The #Nats signed infielder Will Rhymes to a Minor League contract. #MLB

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Now they have to find a player named "Reasons."

AAA fodder

@Ken_Rosenthal

Buerhle headed to #BlueJays along with Josh Johnson, sources tell me and @jonmorosi.

[UMDNats]

They're also reporting that they have been hearing Reyes is part of the deal. Holy cow.

I can't imagine the Jays would have enough prospects to make that deal worth it... unless Loria was just gutting the team.

Wouldn't be a shock.

With Loria, you never know.

[Lintyfresh85]

With Loria, you never know.

Apparently they'd only get back Yunel Escobar and Adeiny Hechavarria.

[Mattionals]

Man the Marlins are a terrible franchise.  Just pack it up.  Send BGS to the Nats for Garrett Mock.

I think Mock is on the Astros.

I know he sure as hell doesn't pitch for the Nats anymore!

But really, I think this is more of Loria saying "freak this team" and getting rid of any highly-paid players than getting back quality.

The Blue Jays could be sick next season.

[Lintyfresh85]

Add Justin Nicolino to the haul the Marlins will be getting.

16-6, 2.09 ERA in 1 1/2 years of low minors ball.

[Lintyfresh85]

@jonmorosi

One source told me Johnson, Buehrle, Reyes, Buck and Bonifacio are all going to #BlueJays. I am working to confirm this. @MLBONFOX

So, anyone not named BGS.

[Lintyfresh85]

@Ken_Rosenthal

Confirmed: Reyes going to #BlueJays. Henderson Alvarez also going to #Marlins.

[Squab]

Marlins chances of ever signing another significant FA just went from slim to ZERO.....now all 3 from last year Reyes, Buehrle & Bell TRADED
-Jim Bowden
For real.

[Vega]

Holy freaking crap! This is the biggest joke of a trade in the history of ever. The Marlins might be the worst franchise is pro sports.
