Cubs can sign him for that price.

Well it's definitely the highest end case right there. Just my prediction because the new international signing rules are coming soon (July 2nd) and will have a cap for that as well. Any club with the money can flex some financial muscles without recourse.

He's at least getting 20 something.

Chris Young has been reinstated from the paternity leave list, the team announced. To make room for Young on the roster, the Mets optioned Pedro Beato to Triple-A Buffalo.

Time will tell about Omar Quintanilla‘s broken left index finger and whether or not he can continue to play, Collins said.

Ronny Cedeno will begin running the bases today and will run more aggressively tomorrow.

Ruben Tejada is returning to Port St. Lucie where he will rest for a few days and resume activity after that.

I like Thole at the second slot. Guy who hits for contact. Lets do this!

never heard about the cat, apparently

Braves bidding seriously on Soler? I want to believe (but I don't).
its possible i guess. we have a lot of money coming off the books.

3 Players that we know won't be back (or that are already gone...):

Lowe $10 mil in 2012
Chipper $7 mil option in 2013 (14 mil in 2012)
Jurrjens 5.5 mil in 2012 (FA in 2014)

Then a few other FAs:

Diaz 2.1 mil
Ross 1.6 mil
Hinske 1.6
Wilson 1 mil
Durbin 900k
Livan 750k

But there are first time arbitration players:

Heyward
Medlen
Hanson
Venters
Martinez

and then a couple more arbitration raises:

Prado 4.7 in 2012 (FA in 2014)
O'Flaherty 2.5 in 2012 (FA in 2014)

a rough estimate would put the braves around 28 mil to spend on 7 positions.

I think this is the first time that Rays Vs. Marlins means something in the Citrus Series. These teams have never been good together in the same year.
