Angels Avoid Arbitration With Kole Calhoun

By Steve Adams | January 26, 2016 at 10:34pm CDT

While the majority of the 156 players that filed for salary arbitration last week have agreed to terms with their teams, either on a one-year deal for 2016 or on an extension, the cases of more than 20 players remain unresolved. You can track the status of each case using MLBTR’s 2016 Arbitration Tracker, and we’ll keep track of all of today’s smaller deals to avoid arbitration in this post (all referenced projections via MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz)…

  • The Angels and right fielder Kole Calhoun have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract worth $3.4MM, tweets SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo. Calhoun, whom Swartz projected to earn $3.6MM, had filed for a $3.9MM salary, while the team had countered with a considerably lower $2.35MM sum. His eventual salary comes in a good bit north of the $3.125MM midpoint between those two sums. The 28-year-old Calhoun qualified for arbitration as a Super Two player by the narrowest of margins this offseason, as he finished the year with two years, 130 days of service time, meaning he landed precisely on the cutoff. As such, this will mark the first seven-figure salary of his young career. However, if the quietly solid outfielder continues at his current trajectory, there will be plenty more to come. Over the past two seasons, Calhoun has batted .263/.316/.435 with 43 home runs and high-quality defense in right field, resulting in his first Gold Glove Award in 2015. With Calhoun’s case now resolved, the Halos have avoided arbitration with all of their eligible players.

      Yeah — really, really good player that doesn’t get much fanfare at all. He’s one of my go-to answers when people ask who I consider the most underrated players in the game. Big fan, though the strikeout uptick in 2015 is a mild concern.

        He somewhat reminds me of Mark Trumbo, don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing..

    Being on the east coast-midwest borderlands I don’t get to see Calhoun play very often but when I have ive always enjoyed it. A true baseball player, I hope to see him and Trout play side by side for many years to come.

    Love Red Baron. Anahiem is lucky to have him at that price.

    Wonder if Fowler is in the thinking for LAA. Maybe a trade of CJ to make some cap room. CJ

    Everyone including myself, keeps waiting for the Angels to make a big splash for a left fielder. I am bigging to think they are going to go into spring training with the young outfielder they signed that was in the Cardinals organization, giving him every opportunity to win the job in left. If he struggles and Wilson looks healthy maybe then the Angels can trade Wilson for a left fielder.
