10/12: Off the Books in 2006

Posted by: James

There seems to be some confusion amongst Yankee fans about who comes off the Yankee payroll this off-season and how much these guys were making in 2005. Based on the information that I have collected to this point and cross checked with Hardball Dollars, here's where that situation stands:

Yankees who are now free agents:
Kevin Brown: $15MM (millions)
John Flaherty: $800K (thousands)
Tom Gordon: $3.75MM
Matt Lawton: $1.5MM
Hideki Matsui: $8MM
Felix Rodriguez: $3.15MM
Rey Sanchez: $600K
Ruben Sierra: $1.5MM

Yankees with options/buyouts:
Tino Martinez: $2.75MM in 2005 - $3MM option in 2006 (with a buyout of 250K)
Tanyon Sturtze: $850K in 2005 - $1.5MM option in 2006 (with a 15K buyout)
Bernie Williams: $12MM in 2005 - Option in 2006 already declined for $3.5MM

Yankees who were traded/released/bought out:
Buddy Groom: $850K
Steve Karsay: $4.88M in 2005 - $6.5MM option in 2006 (bought out for $1.5MM as part of his release)
Mike Stanton: $3.84MM
Paul Quantrill: $3MM in 2005 - $3.6MM option in 2006 (bought out for $400K as part of his release)

I tried to make this as complete as I could but if you see anything (or anyone) that I might have missed, please let us know.

Nice. The one name that seems to be overlooked is John Flaherty, but I'd expect to see him back unless the Yankees really like Wil Nieves. Flaherty doesn't put up great offensive numbers but he is a smart, solid catcher and doesn't make too many mistakes. And of course, he costs next to nothing.

He's on there. He's under "Yankees with options/buyouts".

Thanks for the comment, though.
