Contract Notes:

"Serf" means player has no bargaining power and is or will be paid the MLB minimum of $400,000 or close to it. For 2010, anyone signed for under $450,000 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.

Arbitration eligibility and free agent status are dependent on service time accrued in the Majors.

Texas released Frank Catalanotto and owes his 2009 salary and a 2010 buyout.

Kaz Fukumori signed a 1-year deal with two club options prior to 2008. The second year was guaranteed if he spent under 30 days on the disabled list. The third year is a buyout.

Texas sent Baltimore $3 million along with Kevin Millwood in the Chris Ray trade.

Texas owes Vicente Padilla $1.75 million for his 2010 buyout.

Alex Rodriguez voided his 2001-2010 contract after 2007, but Texas still owes $3 million annually for 2008-2010.
