Yankees, Didi Gregorius Avoid Arbitration

By Steve Adams | January 18, 2016 at 4:55pm 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 30 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 Yankees and shortstop Didi Gregorius have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.425MM contract, reports Jack Curry of the YES Network (via Twitter). Gregorius, who qualified for Super Two status with two years, 159 days of big league service time, had been projected to receive a $2.1MM salary. He’ll clear that sum by a fair margin following a season that saw him produce a .265/.318/.370 batting line with nine home runs in his Yankees debut. Gregorius established new career-highs in virtually every category while also contributing strong defense. Though his Yankees career got off to a slow start when he slashed .221/.283/.297 through the end of May, Gregorius recovered with a solid .282/.332/.397 batting line across the season’s final four months. He’s controllable through the 2019 season via the arbitration process.

    Not a bad raise for half a season of production.

    i love all the arbitration salary information.

    Is it possible to get average arbitration salaries by arb year (1st, 2nd, 3rd) to compare to average FA salaries. Preferably by position. Wondering what the percentage of each arb year compared to FA market rates. Seems I ready somewhere something like 15/40/60% Also, arbitration salary inflation growth compared to FA inflation ?

      That’s a pretty good discussion topic, although, personally, I’m unaware of the actual answer.

      Hopefully the stats and data are already computed, compiled, and displayed somewhere online. If not, then I certainly wish you the best of luck taking on that daunting, time consuming task!! lol

      Remember Papelbon’s arb numbers with the sox, they were crazy, it was like 5.5 then 8.75, then 12, crazy increase

        To be fair he was very good, and the last figure was coming off a dominating playoff/World Series performance

          Actually I think you may be mistaken. Papelbon got the $12MM arbitration award at the end of the 2010 season for the 2011 season. Papelbon numbers in 2010 were nothing special in 2010 and the Red Sox missed the postseason entirely in both the 2010 and 2011 season. Also for the record Papelbon’s 2009 postseason numbers for the ALDS were pretty pathetic.

          Man, I remember that well. 3 run 9th inning against Papelbon, Vlad with the two out single to take the 7-6 lead.

    That’s a very reasonable settlement for both Didi and the Yankees. He looked very good both in the field and at the plate the last 4 or 5 months of the season. It couldn’t have been easy for Didi replacing an Icon in Jeter and moving to the biggest stage in baseball Yankees Stadium after a very limited role in the desert of Arizona.

      He deserved more. My guess is he won’t forget the Yanks, lowballing him come Free Agent time, Particularly when he addresses the slim and none Yankee post season probabilities going forward.

        They came to a mutually agreed upon number. I’m sure if he felt any kind of way about the Yanks offer then he would take it to a hearing. Yanks gave him $100k less than what he asked for. They literally met in the middle. Relax with the hate dude.

        @ Spudchukar:
        Considering MLBTR’s projected him at $2.1MM the Yankees offered $2.3MM and he settled at $2.425MM seems like a fair settlement to me and apparently to Didi. since he agreed to it. But you’re free to think otherwise.
        To echo what “southbeachbully” said…..Relax with the hate dude.

        Are you suggesting that, when he hits free agency, if the Yankees offer the best contract in the form of millions, he will remember them offering him a few thousand less 3-4 years ago?

        haha

    Let him whine about being lowballed. Wade and Mateo are coming up and both bring some excellent skill sets.
