Ohhh, the Options

Going along with the Offseason chatter includes talking about contract options.
The Taken. The Declined. The Creations.

We have all the latest information on the contact-happening for the 09-10 winter season.
And they're off:

Manny Ramirez takes his 2010 option from the LA Dodgers. He will be a 2010 outfielder for the Dodgers and will make $20 million in one year.

The Phillies take the option in Cliff Lee's contract. Lee has yet to accept the $9 million option. He is a free agent for the first time this offseason.

The D-Backs chose to pick-up Brandon Webb's option. Their ace will make $8.5 million next year. That's more than 10% of their payroll.

The White Sox have bought out Jermaine Dye's option. He is now free agent eligible and $950,000 richer.

The Colorado Rockies have decline options on both their catchcer Torrealba and reliever Embree. The rox are expected to try to get Torrealba to stay.


just an FYI, the first sentence of every bullet is a link to an article concerning the matter.
