Contract Notes:
"Serf" means player has no bargaining power and will be paid the MLB minimum of $490,000 or close to it. For 2013, anyone signed for under $550,000 is listed as "serf." Many players are signed to "split" contracts that pro-rate one amount for time spent in the Majors and a lesser amount while in the minors. Minimum pay for anyone with a day of MLB service is $78,250. 40-man newbies earn a minimum of $39,125.

Arbitration eligibility and free agent status are dependent on service time accrued in the Majors. Bonuses are not included in salary figures.

Texas is paying $10 million of Michael Young's salary in 2013.

Adrian Beltre's 2016 is voidable if he fails to reach 600 PAs in 2015 or 1,200 across 2014-2015.

Colby Lewis's 2013 extension has $4mm in incentives.

Joe Nathan's 2014 is a club option with an $0.75 million buyout.

Yu Darvish receives $0.8 million for each season not on disabled list (bonus pro-rated downward if disabled).

Derek Holland's contract includes 2017-2018 team options at $11 million ($1.5mm buyout in 2017, $1mm in 2018)

Ian Kinsler has a team option in 2018 for $10mm with a $5mm buyout.

Joaquim Soria has a team option in 2015.

Lance Berkman has club option for 2014 with a $1mm buyout. It vests if he reaches 550 plate appearances.

Matt Harrison has a club option for 2018 at $13.25-$15.75 million with a $2mm buyout. It vests if he pitches 200 innings in each of 2015-2017.
