With John's recent post about the top signing bonuses up to 2009, it reminded me of something I had accumulated through the past year. I set out to find as many international free agent singings with a reported bonus in the past two years.
I came up with a pretty thorough list, and arranged them in my favorite data delivery method - a Google Doc spreadsheet. Instead of bogging down the bandwidth with 30 different tables, just give the link a click and it will pull up all 30 teams, split up by league in a new window.
As an example, here are the international signings I came up with for the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox.
