Florida Marlins slugger Miguel Cabrera agreed Thursday to a one-year contract that will pay him $472,000 in the majors, meaning he'll likely be one of baseball's best bargains again this season.

 

Cabrera batted .323 with 33 home runs and 116 RBIs in his third major league season last year. He doesn't yet have enough service time to qualify for arbitration.

 

His contract calls for a $296,000 salary if he's in the minors.

 

Marlins right-hander Sergio Mitre agreed to a contract that pays him $330,000 in the majors and $200,337 in the minors. The Marlins renewed the contract of left-hander Jason Vargas, 5-5 as a rookie last year, for the $327,000 minimum in the majors and $155,505 in the minors.

 

Every player on Florida's 40-man roster is under contract.

One of?

 

Easily the best.

$472,000?

 

wow... are they sure that's right?

The classy thing to do would have been at least half a million. If he continues to put up his numbers he'll own the team when he goes to arbitration.

Has anybody seen what Bump and Treanor signed for? I'm assuming they will get a bit better than league minimum.

Nope.

 

The Marlins agreed to terms with outfielder Chris Aguila, catcher Matt Treanor, right-handers Nate Bump, Jesus Delgado, Carlos Martinez, Yusmeiro Petit and Anibal Sanchez, and left-hander Michael Megrew. All will earn the $327,000 major league minimum if they're on the major league club.
