Just saw this now. Less than both MLBTR and Spotrac's projections.

Former Royals got to take care of one another

Cease coming in below what was expected is a nice surprise. Even cheaper for teams looking to trade for him.

It’s wild that he’s our second biggest off-season additional from a salary standpoint, just above Maldonado.

Touki & Crochet also came to terms, so no one actually going to an arbitration hearing.

As a group it looks like 2mil savings over projected cost.

Could have saved $4 million more by letting Sosa play 2B and non-tendering Lopez.  ?

Not sure if that would be an upgrade based on what we've seen. 

I kind of miss the days when I wouldn't have noticed it cared. Sometime around spring training I'd look at who was in camp.

New marketing slogan, free for the team to use

Ignorance is bliss. 

The Orioles are going to arb with 5 players. One of the players they will be fighting over $75k.   That really is a nickel and dime organization.

Jerry is probably gritting his teeth right now.  He probably called Angelos and advised him to have Elias trade them all away.

To be fair, the White Sox had an almost exact issue with Giolito.
