Avoiding Arbitration: Andrew Heaney, Ryan Rua

By Jeff Todd | January 9, 2018 at 2:48pm CDT

We’ll use this post to track some of the day’s arbitration agreements. As always, you can reference MLBTR’s 2018 arbitration projections and 2018 MLB arbitration tracker as needed.

  • Lefty Andrew Heaney is in agreement on a $800K deal with the Angels, per Jon Heyman of Fan Rag (via Twitter). The 26-year-old lands right at MLBTR’s projection for his Super Two salary. Heaney has scarcely pitched in the majors over the past two seasons owing to Tommy John surgery. But he did make it back late last year and will hope for a healthy and productive 2018 season after an opportunity to build up over the offseason. The Halos need Heaney to regain the trajectory he was on when he arrived in the organization. In his first 18 starts in L.A., Heaney managed 105 2/3 innings of 3.49 ERA ball with 6.6 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9.
  • The Rangers have avoided arbitration with oufielder Ryan Rua, per a club announcement. He is slated to earn $870K, per Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (via Twitter). Rua, 27, just did quality for arbitration as a Super Two. MLBTR projected him to earn $900K in his first trip through the process, so he’ll land just below that mark. It is not immediately clear just how Rua will fit into the Ranger’ roster mix, though that’s due in no small part to the fact that the team is still said to be looking into options to upgrade. The right-handed hitter has spent the bulk of his time in the majors in left field, though he can also play some first base. Over 608 total MLB plate appearances, Rua owns a .246/.305/.388 batting line with 17 home runs. He has shown more in a similar sample at Triple-A, where he has posted a .272/.343/.459 output.

    With Fowler, Pham, and Ozuna in St Louis wonder what itd take to bring randall grichuk to Texas. The upside is there.

    Maybe
    Profar (who could use a change of scenery)
    1 of Morgan, Ibanez or, Tejada
    1 of Hernandez or Matuella

    Cant imagine hed cost much and using him as a 4th OF would waste him in St Louis.

      Texas would not offer that much for Grichuk. He doesn’t have THAT much value

      Texas probably turns down Profar + any decent prospect. If they’re going to subtract from an already weak farm, they’re going to trade for pitching.

    Oh wow figured the Rangers would come up with more money for Rua. Arb deal or not he is worth a lot more than what they gave him. Geez

      He’s got a career 84 wRC+ and a 0.3 fWAR. He’s not worth much
