MLBTR’s 2021 arbitration tracker is available here. The tracker is regularly updated and allows for filtering by team, signing status, service time, and whether the player had a hearing.
This year, the date to exchange figures for unsigned arbitration eligible players is Friday, January 15th. Most teams, if they reach the point of exchanging figures, will not have further negotiations for a one-year deal and will go to a hearing. This has resulted in an increased number of hearings, about 13 per year on average since 2015. Over the past decade teams have won 46 hearings, while players have won 44.
With the 60-game season in 2020 and no agreement on how that affects arbitration, the players that have made it this far without a contract are in uncharted waters. At present, more than 120 arbitration eligible players are without contracts, including Francisco Lindor, Corey Seager, Cody Bellinger, Kris Bryant, Walker Buehler, Josh Hader, and Juan Soto. The record number of arbitration hearings was set in 1986, with 35.
the arbitration tracker has never allowed me to scroll to the right. in the many years now that TR has done it. maybe my only complaint here.
Its big flaw is that it is not mobile-friendly. I’m hoping we are able to change that this year.
We can just do a side orientation view and it’s all viewable. Not a big deal.
Turn your phone 90 degrees and you can see it all.
It would be great if there was a column that including last year’s salary as a basis point too.
Nats need to get those arb numbers down and extend soto and trea
We should expect a flurry of agreements to avoid arbitration in the next 48 hours. And then the international amateur signing period opens on the 15th, which should mean a bunch of new contracts being made official.
So at least we’ll have a couple of days with some actual contracts and not just “news” about who the Blue Jays are interested in.
As a blue jays fan i laughed out loud and i agree whole heartedly
Only interested in Soto’s case tbh.
$12M would be my guess.
