Pitchers take most of the money. The big two from Nashville move on to the AL South. Vince Lee goes for the max to a strong Monterrey team that is looking to take back the AL South. But Kansas City also signed a new Star, Joe Rogers takes an $80 M contract to help the AL pennant winner. Other type A pitching signings include Donnie Newman getting over paid by Vancouver, Jim Reichert to be the ace of a rebuilding Crab team in San Francisco, RP's Tony Sauerbeck from Honolulu and Rob Watson from St Louis head to Trenton, NJ to get that bullpen on thier feet, Cleveland signed Lee early in the free agent signing period to a great deal, and Mexico City gets gold glove 18 win pitcher Pablo Saez for cheap.
Position players are slim pickings in the market. St. Louis makes the big news signing Ed Urich and Esteban Suarez from the perfect position. They had the 16th and last protected first round pick. Chicago pays bank for the versatile Ewell Stark, and Jackson gets the best CF on the market in Luis Flores.
