The Jays signed Brandon League for $640k (minimum is $400k), Jeremy Accardo for $900k, Jason Frasor for $1.45 million, Jose Bautista for $2.4 million.  Arbitration figures are being passed along, and a batch of Jays are going to the Classic along with a Canadian team.

The arbitration guys are... Brian Tallet (950k to $1.3 mil), Shawn Camp (700k vs 950k). 

Jays potentially going to the Baseball Classic are (all on preliminary rosters)...
Canada: Scott Richmond
USA: Vernon Wells, BJ Ryan
Venezuala: Marco Scutaro
Mexico: Rod Barajas
Puerto Rico: Alex Rios, Orlando Roman
Panama: Manuel Rodriguez

Team Canada's roster is here and yes, Stubby Clapp is playing again.

The Accardo link shows how Papelbon got $6.25 million from Boston in his first year of arbitration elgibility (gives an idea on what closers are worth, although 1st year arbitration is normally a lot lower than market value).

Anything else going on in the world of baseball?
