A-rod, Soriano, Bagwell, Pujols, Jeter, Beltran, in no particular order, I cannot remember the others.

OK the one basically had it correct. You put a guy on waivers and that is just before free agency. You say Hey anyone want this dude at this contract. Every team in the league has the chance to then pick them up at that contract. If they all say nah then the player goes back to the team. If someone picks him up then they have to pay the player at the contract of the team that put him on waivers. You don't have to give them anything else. It is a little like a free agency. If the player clears waivers then the team has to figure out what to do with them but have to pay the contract. They are saying they will try to buy it out.

Player News\nSammy Sosa remains unsigned. After being dumped by the Chicago Cubs in a trade with the Orioles, the right fielder hoped to rekindle his home-run swing in cozy Camden Yards. He began the season needing 26 homers to become only the fifth player to hit 600. He ended up batting .221 with 14 home runs, numbers that enabled him to receive a single job offer this winter: A non-guaranteed contract from the Nationals that would have included performance bonus opportunities. Sosa declined, in part because he wasn't confident he could return to form.\n(Updated 03/29/2006).

I think there are some "walk on" tryouts during spring training.  I am going to be practicing my knuckle ball all winter and show up and sign a 10 million dollar a year contract with some very lucky team.

Hank Greenberg's 1947 contract with the Pirates was for less than $100,000 but included incentives and attendance clauses that netted Greenberg more than six figures for the season. The first $100,000 straight salary contract was given to Joe DiMaggio by the Yankees for the 1949 season.

You mean you haven't sold your loyalty like the guy on Ebay? :) I like the Royals. They have a bunch of hardworking young guys (DeJesus, Greinke), but it's just unfortunate that all their good players (aformentioned included) are on the DL.

as of right now, he's a free agent. he will either decide to quit or some team that is totally disperate for any success will sign him on a minor league contract and give him a non-roster invitation.

You can have a maximum of 40 active players under major league contract at any given time, only 25 of whom are on the major league active roster. The other 15 are either in the minors or the disabled list. \nBeginning September 1 until the end of the regular season you can have all 40 on the major league active roster if you wish (most teams call up a few extra players but don't use all 40)

G'day Fistoflegend22,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThe signing of Alfonso Soriano looks a good one albeit he is expensive. The best evidence of how good the offseason has been is how well they play next season.\n\nRegards

There are probably not any.  Unless a player is a major upcoming star, there are probably no baseball cards of that person.  If there are any it would be extremely rare.  Good luck!

Well in 2006 roger clemens got about 12million, for a few months work, which equated to 22million over a full season.\n\nMike Mussina was paid 17million for the 06 season, Randy Johnson got 16mil, Schilling 13, Pedro 14, Andy Petitte got 17.5 wow.. Roy Oswalt is not a 13mil pitcher, Bartolo Colon 13, \n\nObviously Matsuzaka of Japan will join this list somewhere..\n\nI was just throwing out some names to give you an idea\n\nhttp://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/ is a good list of all the current contracts that are out there by team.

There is talk of them signing one of the Alex Gonzalez's, which one I am not sure.  Probably the one who was with the Marlins the past few years.

Yes, before free agency players were loyal to their team.\nNow it's all about the money\nLook at Johnny Damon, 10 mil. wasn't enough so he went to the Yankees for 13 mil.\nI can remember when a player stayed with a team for his entire career.Now if they stick around for 5yrs. that's a long time.\nGive me the good old days when I could afford to go to a ball game.\nI recently read an article that said it costs a family of 4 500.00 to go to a game at Fenway.\nGive me back the days of Yaz, Freddy Lynn and Pudge Fisk.\nI know I'm showing my age, but those were great days when you could sit in the bleachers for 7 bucks(now at least 25.00)

[AP Wire]\n\nSAN DIEGO -- Jose Canseco returned to baseball Thursday when he agreed to a contract with the independent San Diego Surf Dawgs, planning to be their designated hitter and -- get this -- pitch.\n\nThe Golden Baseball League announced the deal Thursday night, saying the former AL MVP and Rookie of the Year will make his Surf Dawgs debut Monday night on the road against the Chico Outlaws.\n\nCanseco will make his debut at 10:05 ET on July 3.\n\nCanseco's return to baseball comes some 19 months after he attracted Congress' attention with an autobiography, "Juiced," that accused several top players of steroid use.\n\nIn March 2005, he testified before the House Government Reform committee that he used performance-enhancing drugs as a player.\n\nCanseco didn't immediately return a message left on his cell phone.\n\nThe news release announcing the deal said Canseco will be the DH "and will showcase his knuckleball as a member of the team's pitching staff."\n\nCanseco made one big league pitching appearance, working the final inning for the Texas Rangers in a 15-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on May 29, 1993. He walked the bases loaded and allowed three runs and two hits. He threw 12 strikes and 21 balls, most of which were far from the strike zone.\n\nCanseco will be playing for the league maximum of $2,500 per month.\n\n"We strive to provide a high quality entertainment product, and Jose will undoubtedly be entertaining for our fans," GBL president Amit Patel said in a statement.\n\nThe GBL is essentially baseball's lowest rung. Rickey Henderson played for the Surf Dawgs last year as he tried to attract the attention of a big league team.\n\nCanseco hasn't played in the big leagues since 2001 with the Chicago White Sox, who purchased his contract from the independent Newark Bears.\n---------------------------------------------------\n\nDon't bank on a cup of coffee coming his way.

The contract is for 3 years at $3.7m per year, for a total just over the $11m mark.
