Yeah, it is a quiet time right now.  Colby Rasmus signs for another year, avoiding arbitration.  Adam Loewen signs up for another tour of the Jays minor leagues. 

Colby Rasmus gets $4.675 million next year, a big raise from his old $2.7 million deal.  Generally in range with expectations as salary is more based on years of service at this point. 

Adam Loewen gets to play baseball for a living for another year.  He had a poor year in Baltimore's system last year, hitting just 227/328/391 in Buffalo.  Still, he does have some talent so will be useful down there I'm sure.  At least he'll know where the clubhouse is in Buffalo.

Other Jays waiting for arbitration/contracts are...
J.A. Happ - 2nd year of it, B-R expects $3.8 mil
Emilio Bonifacio - 2nd year - B-R expects $2.5 mil
Josh Thole - 1st year - B-R expects $1.2 mil
Brett Cecil - 1st year - B-R doesn't list an expected value

Everyone else who isn't signed the Jays can just renew at whatever they wish to pay them, so none will be over $1 mil most likely.
