Blue Jays To Retain Barajas, Not Zaun
According to Robert MacLeod of The Globe and Mail, the Blue Jays plan to exercise Rod Barajas' option while allowing Gregg Zaun to leave as a free agent.
Barajas has a $2.4MM option with a $500K buyout, so it's a net cost of $2.1MM. He's hitting .249/.294/.410 in 377 plate appearances, fluctuating quite a bit month-to-month. Meanwhile Zaun is hitting .222/.332/.344 in 262 PAs while earning $3.75MM. At this point he does not qualify as a Type B free agent, so there's no point in offering arbitration.

Isn't the net cost difference between $2.4 mil and $500K only $1.9 mil? Even so, the Jays might still be getting ripped off. :)
