Our 2017 MLB arbitration tracker is now available! The tracker displays all arbitration eligible players, with fields for team, service time, player and team submissions, the midpoint, and the settlement amount. You can filter by team, signing status, service time, Super Two status, and whether a hearing occurred. For unsigned players, arbitration figures will be exchanged tomorrow.
You can bookmark MLBTR’s 2017 Arbitration Tracker here, or you can find it in the Tools menu at the top of the site.
MLBTR is also the only place for salary projections for every arbitration eligible player, which you can find here.
It would be useful if you listed the MLBTR projections on this table, just for reference. Service time is nice, but that only tells a piece of the story.
Yes, or at least list the players current salary, so that we have a baseline of sorts.
Or both.
It could be useful if you guys go look up that stuff yourselves.
That’s true for literally every database and data source on the internet, so I’m not sure how that’s relevant.
I would like to rebuild this from scratch, but that would be in time for January 2018. At the least, it should be mobile-friendly. But I am a little wary of overcrowding the tracker with information, as it will already have four columns of salary numbers for a lot of players.
Tim, love the show, keep up the good work. Glad to know that comments are falling on non-deaf ears!
It is just fine the way it is , some people will find fault w/anything.
Is it so bad that we ask to have things be a little better? Complacency is a curse
Thanks! It would be great to have the arb projections added to the tracker. I think that’s another commendation for the site’s work; i.e., that the first thing I wonder when I see an agreement is whether it was over/under the projection.
To commenters below, it’s totally possible to praise the great work at MLBTR while also making suggestions for improvement.
Question: Wondering if anybody knows the answer…..
I know that arb contracts aren’t fully guaranteed until the season starts (or middle of ST, or however it works exactly), but what I can’t seem to find a solid answer for is if a contract that is agreed to in order to “avoid arbitration” is still fully guaranteed or not.
Does anybody know the answer to the above? (and if so, do you happen to have a link to somewhere that states this?)
Thanks in advance….
My understanding is as long as the player is arbitration eligible their contract falls into that non-guarateed frame, it doesn’t matter when or how that contract was signed as is still an arbitration contact.
If they ink a multi-year deal, I belive that guarantees the contract, or at least a larger portion but I’m not 100% on that.
Cool… thanks Jake… that was my understanding too, but I can’t find anything that specifically mentions that, and all of these updates that say “avoided arbitration by agreeing to an $X amount contract” were making me question myself.
