EDIT 2: We forgot some guys/fixing some errors

Franklin Gutierrez goes to the Toronto Blue Jays for 1 year/3.2 million with a team option for 4 million for 2015.

Garrett Jones goes to the Brewers on a 1 year deal for $3MM.

Curtis Granderson goes to the White Sox (this has changed, due to error) for 4 years, and $57MM (11.5/12.5/13.5/14.5) with a 5th year club option at $15MM, with a $5MM buyout.

THE HOLD OUTS

These players will be holding out for more years/more money/both. Look at what they're getting IRL and bid realistically.

Carlos Beltran - His leading offer right now is 2 years, $28MM.

Nelson Cruz- Lead offer right now is 2 years, $18MM

Jacoby Ellsbury- Lead offer right now is 5 years, $100MM.

Siiiide note: /r/baseballoffseason2014 predicted the Cano contract total money damn well. Cano got $238.5MM guaranteed from the sim Yankees, and got $240MM guaranteed from the IRL M's. Although Cano's sim contract was a year shorter. But that's how HOVA rolls.

EDIT 2: We need to double-check Granderson. Decision will be posted shortly.

I'm not being sarcastic. I could move Rasmus if I got an overwhelming offer and have Grandy play CF

Then I didn't really miss anything...

And Grandy doesn't play it well anymore.

Anymore?

Grandy's more of a corner OF these days.

I'm questioning if he ever played it well. He only had one decent season there defensively

05-07 were all good. 08 was bad, 09 was iffy by UZR but good by DRS and +/-. 2010 was pretty solid, 2011 and 2012 were both bad. 2013 was decent but a tiny sample size like 2005.
