The Hot Stove League Contracts
Find
out what's going on in contracts, what they've been paid,
what they should have with the Stat Geek Baseball's SPRO Salary
Projection system, and more.
Week of March 23
Re-Signed with Club
Brian Dozier signs
4 year $20,000,000 contract extension with Twins.
SPRO Analysis - Minnesota
pays market value for Dozier. One year too long for us, but a
good deal none the less. SPRO 3 years $13,036,000 actually
makes
it a bit of a bargain in the first three as he'll be making $11m in
that time frame..
Week of March 16
Re-Signed with Club
Adam Eaton signs 5
year $23,500,000 contract with $9.5m/$10.5m option for 6th and
7th year and $1.5m buyout with White Sox.
SPRO Analysis - Chicago
White Sox
overpays for Eaton. It's hard to say these types are
overpays,
because we just don't know. Too far out after one good year
to
know. We're not in favor of these deals, but they may work
out
okay. For us, SPRO 2 years $3,256,000. For the
first two
years of the actual deal, it's right on the money.
Christian Yelich signs
7 year $49,570,000 contract with $15,000,000 option for 8th
year and $2m buyout with Marlins.
SPRO Analysis - Miami
overpays for Yelich. It's just too early for this for us.
Might end up being good, but we'd wait until after this year
to
see whether his one good year turns into more. Be interesting
to
see what the year to year details are. For right now, SPRO 3
years $4,991,000.
Week of February 23
Free Agents
John Axford
signs 1 year $2,600,000 contract with $1,100,000 incentives
with Rockies.
SPRO Analysis - Colorado
overpays for Axford. Three straight decreasing years
shouldn't make a deal for this high. SPRO $1,931,000.
Everth Cabrera
signs 1 year $2,400,000 contract with $600,000 incentives with
Orioles.
SPRO Analysis - Baltimore
pays market value for Cabrera. A slight bargain since they
may
not have to pay the incentives, but SPRO is right on the total number
at $3,140,000.
Dustin McGowan
signs 1 year $507,500 contract with $2.5m incentives with
Dodgers.
SPRO Analysis - Los
Angeles Dodgers get bargain in McGowan. Well, it's actually
more
of a market value play, although it's possible for the Dodgers to get
out cheap. With roster bonuses and other incentives, they've
actually paid too much. SPRO 1 years $1,567,000.
Re-signed with Club
Francisco Rodriguez
signs 2 year $13m contract with Brewers w/3rd year option of $6m.
$4m of money is deferred from 1st two years.
SPRO Analysis - Milwaukee
pays market value for Rodriguez. SPRO 2 years $13,663,000.
Joba Chamberlain
signs contract with Tigers. Terms unknown.
SPRO Analysis - Detroit
pays ?? for Chamberlain. SPRO $1,559,000.
Week of February 16
Free Agents
Re-signed with Club
Eric Hosmer
signs 2 year $13,900,000 contract with Royals.
SPRO Analysis - Kansas
City pays market value for Hosmer. Signed deal
before going to his arbitration hearing.
It's a tad high, but we're not going to quibble.
SPRO 2 years $12,617,000.
Signed Before Arbitration Hearing
Zero players signed
prior to hearing.

Braves LOSE hearing with Mike Minor

Check

Hearing Checklist for detals.
Week of February 9
Free Agents
Rickie Weeks
signs 1 year $2,000,000 contract plus $2m incentives with
Mariners.
SPRO Analysis - Seattle
gets bargain in Weeks. Incentive laden contract good for the
club, and appropriate overall. SPRO 1 year
$4,489,000,
including all incentives.
James Shields
signs 4 year $75,000,000 contract plus 5th years option with
Padres.
SPRO Analysis - San
Diego pays market value for Shields. SPRO 4 years $75,599,000
good.
Re-signed with Club
Kelvin Herrera
signs 2 year $4,150,000 contract with Royals.
SPRO Analysis - Kansas
City gets bargain in Herrera. Signed deal
before going to his arbitration hearing.
SPRO 2 years $5,771,000.
Jon Jay
signs 2 year $10,975,000 contract with Cardinals.
SPRO Analysis - St.
Louis gets bargain in Jay. Yes, some of his numbers look more
pedestrian than others, but just look at that OBP. Signed
deal
before going to his arbitration hearing.
SPRO 2 years $14,667,000.
Signed Before Arbitration Hearing
Matt Joyce, Tyler Clippard, Casey
McGehee, Aroldis Chapman, Addison Reed,
Greg Holland sign prior to hearing.

Pittsburgh
Pirates LOSE hearing
with Vance Worley.
Washington
Nationals LOSE hearing
with Jerry Blevins.
Toronto
Blue Jays WIN hearing
with Josh Donaldson.
New York

with David Phelps.
Check
the Arbitration
Hearing Checklist for detals.
Week of February 2
Free Agents
Brook Badenhop
signs 1 year $2,500,000 contract plus $250,000 incentives with
Reds. Option included for $4m.
SPRO Analysis - Cincinnati
gets bargain in Badenhop. It's that time of the year when
those
left on the shelf start to be bargains for teams that pick them up.
Badenhop was good last year. SPRO says $3,808,000
good,
including all incentives.
Kyle Kendrick
signs 1 year $5,500,000 contract plus incentives with Rockies.
SPRO Analysis - Colorado
gets bargain in Kendrick. A bit hard to say that, because we
don't think Colorado is a good place for Kendrick to pitch.
But
he does give innings. SPRO $7,151,000, including all
potential
incentives.
Re-signed with Club
Michael Dunn
signs 2 year $5,800,000 contract with Marlins, plus $100,000
incentives.
SPRO Analysis - Miami pays
market value for Miley. Signed to this two year deal
before going to his arbitration hearing.
SPRO 2 years $5,073,000.
Todd Frazier
signs 2 year $12,000,000 contract with Reds.
SPRO Analysis - Cincinnati
pays market value for Frazier.
Signed this deal
before going to his arbitration hearing, actually a slight bargain for
both years. SPRO 2 years $13,225,000.
Wade Miley
signs 3 year $19,250,000 contract with Red Sox.
SPRO Analysis - Boston
pays market value for Miley. Signed to this three year deal
before going to his arbitration hearing, it may be a big of a bargain.
Hard to say as Miley's years have dipped over the last two.
SPRO 3 years $21,875,000.
Signed Before Arbitration Hearing
Brandon
Belt, Garrett Richards, Lucas Duda, Mike Moustakis, Miquel Gonzalez,
Lorenzo Cain, Zach Britton, Pedro Strop, Danny Duffy sign prior to
hearing.
Arbitration Hearing
Miami
Marlins WIN hearing
with Mat Latos.
Toronto
Blue Jays LOSE hearing
with Danny Valencia.
Oakland A's WIN hearing with Jarrod Parker.
Pittsburgh
Pirates WIN hearing
with Todd Walker.
Check
the Arbitration
Hearing Checklist for detals.
Week of January 26
Free Agents
Alexi Ogando
signs 1 year $1,500,000 contract, plus $1.5m incentives with
Red Sox.
SPRO Analysis - Boston
pays market value for Ogando. Again, no real need for the
incentives, but heck, why not. SPRO $1,561,000, including any
incentives.
Neal Cotts
signs 1 year $3,000,000 contract with Brewers.
SPRO Analysis - Milwaukee gets
bargain in Cotts. Yes, pending if back at full strength.
SPRO $3,986,000.
Chad Billingsley signs
1 year $1,500,000 contract, plus $6.5m incentives, with
Phillies.
SPRO Analysis - Philadelphia
pays market value for Billingsley. Market value, but really
no
need to offer the incentives, unless they're currying favor for
additional years if he pitches well. SPRO
$1,489,000.
Casey Janssen
signs 1 year $5,000,000 contract with Nationals.
SPRO Analysis - Washington
gets bargain in Janssen. Yes, change of role might denote the
less money, but he is a closer if needed. SPRO $6,425,000.
Gordon Beckham
signs 1 year $2,000,000 contract with White Sox.
SPRO Analysis - Chicago
White Sox
get bargain in Beckham. Career been sliding, but Beckham
still
has value and young enough to recover better seasons. SPRO
$3,396,000.
Re-signed with Club
Devin Mesoraco avoid
arbitration and signs 4 year $28,000,000 contract with Reds.
SPRO Analysis - Cincinnati
gets bargain in Mesoraco. We wouldn't have gone for that
fourth
year yet, but on a three year basis, it's good. SPRO 3 year
$20,789,000.
Signed Before Arbitration Hearing
Bud Norris, Adam Ottavino, Devin
Mesoraco, Jarrod Dyson, Brandon Crawford, Jenrry Mejia, Daniel Nava, Steven
Pearce, David Freese sign prior to
hearing. Check the Arbitration
Hearing Checklist for detals.
Week of January 19
Free Agents
Ichiro Suzuki
signs 1 year $2,000,000 contract with Marlins.
SPRO Analysis - Miami
gets bargain in Suzuki. Really not as large as the SPRO
number
will suggest. SPRO does not assume role change, thus the
$4,553,000 assumes getting a similar number of at bats as last season,
which he probably won't here.
Johnny Gomes
signs 1 year $4,000,000 contract with Braves, including $3m
vesting option for 2016.
SPRO Analysis - Atlanta
pays market value for Gomes.
SPRO 1 year $4,113,000.
Colby Rasmus
signs 1 year $8,000,000 contract with Astros.
SPRO Analysis - Houston
overpays for Rasmus.
SPRO 1 year $6,940,000.
Max Scherzer
signs 7 year $210,000,000 contract, with Nationals.
Contract
stated to include deferred earnings ($15m per year for 14 years),
bringing present day value down to $185 million.
SPRO Analysis - Washington
pays market value for Scherzer. We think it's a tad high, but
maybe that's just us. We're not in favor of these long term
pitcher deals, especially for someone pitching into their late 30's.
SPRO 7 years $176,400,000.
Nori Aoki signs 1
year $4,700,000 contract with Giants, including $1.5m
incentives. Contract also includes $5.5m option.
SPRO Analysis - San
Francisco gets bargain in Aoki. SPRO $9,012,000, including
all incentives.
Re-signed with Club
Ryan Vogelsong signs
for 1 year $4,000,000 contract with Giants.
SPRO Analysis - San
Francisco gets bargain in Vogelsong. Sure, he's not the same
pitcher as three years ago, but even if he pitches this year like last
year, it's a bargain. SPRO $7,123,000.
Signed Before Arbitration Hearing
Fernando
Abad, Mitch Moreland, Marwin Gonzalez, Eric Sogard, Ryan
Flaherty, and Jordan
Schafer sign prior to hearing. Check
the Arbitration
Hearing Checklist for details.
Week of January 12
Free Agents
Anthony Swarzak
signs 1 year $900,000 contract, plus $350,000 incentives, with
Indians.
SPRO Analysis - Cleveland
get bargain in Swarzak. Small one. SPRO $1,364,000,
but
they're not on the hook for the incentives if not reached.
Re-signed with Club
Henderson Alvarez signs
for 1 year $4,000,000 contract with Marlins, avoiding
arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - Miami
pays market value for Alvareaz. SPRO $4,212,000.
Ryan Cook signs for
1 year $1,400,000 contract with A's, avoiding arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - Oakland
gets bargain in Cook. They almost always do. SPRO
$2,279,000.
Sam Fuld signs for
1 year $1,750,000 contract with A's, avoiding arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - Oakland
pays market value for Fuld. SPRO
one year $2,124,000.
Collin Cowgirl signs
for 1 year $995,000 contract with Angels, avoiding arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - Los
Angeles of Anaheim pays market value for Cowgill. SPRO
$795,000.
David Carpenter signs
for 1 year $1,300,000 contract with Yankees, avoiding
arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - New
York Yankees pay market value for Carpenter. SPRO $1,612,000.
Nathan Eovaldi signs
for 1 year $3,300,000 contract with Yankees, avoiding
arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - New
York Yankees overpay for Eovaldi. SPRO $2,078,000.
Rex Brothers signs
for 1 year $1,400,000 contract with Rockies, avoiding
arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - Colorado
gets bargain in Brothers. Just slightly.

for 1 year $5,686,000 contract with Cubs, avoiding arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - Chicago
Cubs overpay for Wood. SPRO $4,930,000.

Hot Payroll Numbers
Actual Contracts Versus SPRO Projections
So
how do the actual contracts given out to players during the past off
season compare to our SPRO Salary Projections, both on the average and
by maximum players per position. Overall, the average salary
of
players on the rosters listed, 855 players overall, in the USA Today
Salary Database on March 31, 2014 was $3,936,922. SPRO
projections
were $3,583,053.
There has been a significant change over the past year in salary
structure, adding approximately 10% to salaries, predominantly for free
agent year players. Most of this will play out over the next
several years as national and local television contract increases
filter down to the player level.
And how does it compare now to the highest players paid per position.

from Time to Time, How is PEVA Calculated? Well, it's
complicated
and hard to explain.
While
we don't get into the pure numbers, perhaps this series of short blog
articles from several years back can give you a better view of how and
why.

Understading MLB Options
Moving
players from the Majors to the Minors can be a confusing thing for most
fans, i.e. how long can a player on the 40 man roster be moved up and
down without requiring waivers? For the most part, a player
may
be moved up and down for three seasons once they are first placed on
the 40 man roster. That is, assigned to the minors from
spring
training through the year as many times as wanted for those 3 seasons.
A little known fact, however, is the 5 minor league season
rule,
allowing a player with less than 5 FULL minor league seasons a 4th year
of options. A full minor league season is defined as a season
over 90 days long, i.e. not including short season leagues.

$490,000 in 2013, then $500,000, with cost of living adjustments for
2015-16.
Qualifying offer now used to determine Type A Free Agents and
draft pick compensation. In first year with new system, a
$13.3
million one year offer had to be offered to player to receive pick.
