White Sox Payroll Info

Notes:

  • Buehrle -- no-trade protection:
    • 2009 - July 15, 2010: Limited no-trade protection allowing Buehrle to block trades to certain unspecified clubs. A trade triggers an escalator paying $1M raise to $15M annually, plus a guaranteed fifth year paying $15M for 2012.
    • July 16, 2010 - 2011: Buehrle may not be traded without his permission, under right as 10-and-5 player
  • Dye -- $12M mutual option vs. $1M buyout
    • 2009: Limited no-trade clause: Dye may block deals to 6 unknown clubs
  • Floyd -- $9.5M option in 2013
  • Konerko -- Full no-trade protection as a 10/5 player
  • Peavy -- 2013: $22M club option vs. $4M buyout 
  • Rios -- 2015: $13.5m club option vs. $1M buyout
  • Thome -- Mark Gonzales (via MLBTraderumors) says the Sox have burned through their Thome cash. Anyone with evidence to the contrary should contact me.
  • Thornton -- Club Options:
    • 2010: $2.25M club option vs. $250K buyout
    • 2011: $3.00M club option vs. $250K buyout
  • Viciedo -- $4M signing bonus (which I assume is paid upfront)

These are not exact figures. Most are reasonable approximations based on all the information I could find. If you have any documented information to help with the list, please send it to me.

Some of the banners were shown off Tuesday, including those featuring Pres. Barack Obama both before and after his election.

A White Sox World Series Championship banner, signed by pitcher Mark Buehrle, is also being sold, as is a Blackhawks playoff banner signed by Denis Savard and Stan Mikita.

The bidding starts at 12 p.m. Wednesday at Daley Center. Money raised goes to help the Chicago Anti-hunger Federation and the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
