Love how you got Cabral and Gamboa in there. A+ for thoroughness. Accountant by trade?

No. Business Developer before I retired. I keep track of all O's transactions throughout the year. Keep a running total. I've been doing it for years. I was not satisfied with the numbers that COT's and Baseball Reference keep for salary. They lose so much when there are trades. Deferred salary is a big deal and no source I have found keeps records on it.

AJ is a bargain at $13 million for the production, defense and leadership he brings...at least we have that....Bobby Bonilla's $.5mil deferred is baffling to an average fan like me....

Great job Wildcard.

Fantastic job Wildcard, thank you for posting this.

I too have always been puzzled about why the Orioles owe Bonilla deferred compensation. Wasn't it the Mets who signed the deferred compensation contract with Bonilla, after he had finished playing for the Orioles?

Great stuff, WC!

I'm guessing next year's budget will be around the 120M range. I doubt we see a bump up.

Great work Wildcard.

Jones, Chen, Davis, Tillman, O'Day outplayed their salaries.

Jimenez, Norris DAza, Matusz. Overpaid or under performed

Hardy & Weiters injured.

No way to replace Davis' production for the money
