Question by strewth78: does San Diego Padres pitcher Mat Latos have a minor league contract or a major league contract?
he signed for only $ 400,000 which is the regular price of a minor league contract.
Where can i find out which type of contracta baseball player has? minor or major?

His minor league contract was purchased by the major-league club last year, then he was re-signed to a one-year deal in the off-season….so he is a “major leaguer.” He does, however, still have “options” which means the Padres could send him back to the minors without risk of losing him on the waiver wire. It does look like he has the #5 job locked up for now though.
There used to be a great blog put together by a real basebal fanatic called “mlbcontracts” or something like that on blogspot. He used to compile contract data for every team, including GMs, managers and coaches. You might try a google search or check on blogspot.com.
