2009 CONTRACT OBLIGATIONS

[Jack Flynn]

Below you will a list of each team's free agents, as well as their contract obligations for 2009. Please note - it is the individual team's responsibility to correct any mistakes I may have made. I just went through the contract status of over 320 players and while I'm pretty sure I got everything right, you are responsible for checking my work.

Any player who signed a contract extension or a free-agent deal after 10/1/08 is still considered a free agent. Any player whose club, player, mutual or vesting option was picked up after 10/1/08 is still considered under contract.

[Chris]

Two corrections to the Bandits list:

Bonderman is not a free agent (signed through 2010)

Lincecum is a free agent (signed through 2008)

[Jack Flynn]

Bandits and Flesheaters list updated.

[Ed]

And don't I have the choice to drop Cameron since it was a team option picked up after Oct. 1? (Not that I will)

[Jack Flynn]

No, team options are considered part of the contract (as are player and mutual options) and if they are exercised in MLB they are automatically exercised here.
