...projected Opening Day payroll of about $121MM. That's up from $107.5MM in 2014. Melewski includes free agent outfielder Nick Markakis for $12MM in his projections, in line with the four-year, $48MM contract MLBTR's Steve Adams projected Markakis would get. (It's since been reported that the Orioles were discussing a four-year deal with Markakis.) The Orioles could non-tender a player or two to drop their total, but one problem is that they've got 11 arbitration-eligible players, including many who were very good last season and two others (Chris Davis and Matt Wieters) whose salary baselines are already very high thanks to their performance in previous years. They also have Adam Jones, J.J. Hardy and Ubaldo Jimenez locked up to relatively expensive long-term deals.

Steve Melewski and Steve Adams are sources for this story.

This was a good baseline of the payroll. There will be some movement of the players like Matusz and a bench player, but this gives a good representation of the payroll.

I think they will spend up to another 3 million.

I posted this payroll information 6 days ago. There are a few differences but basically this is the same information.

Thanks!. I did not see that it was from the same sources or was identical. In fact, I thought there were some differences that landed it at 121.
