NOTES:

• Salaries information came from mlb4u.com and Cot's Baseball Contracts.
• Dollars are in Millions
• Numbers in blue: player option
• Numbers in red: club option
• Milton Bradley owed $4 million signing bonus--$2 million paid in 2009 and $2 million in 2010. Bradley's club option becomes guaranteed if he plays in enough games in 2009 and 2010.
• $500,000 buyout if the Cubs don't exercise Luis Vicaino's $4 million 2010 option
• Guzman, Marmol, Marshall, and Theriot could qualify as Super-Two players, meaning they'd be arbitration eligible
• The following players have some form of No-Trade protection: Ted Lilly, Jeff Samardzija, Carlos Zambrano, Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramierz, Kosuke Fukudome, and Alfonso Soriano
• Empty spaces in 2009 mean auto-renewal.
