Marlins Win Arbitration Hearing Against Pablo Lopez

By Mark Polishuk | May 21, 2022 at 3:42pm CDT

The Marlins have won their arbitration hearing against right-hander Pablo Lopez, MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports (via Twitter).  Lopez had been seeking a $3MM salary in his first year of arbitration eligibility, but the arbiter ruled in favor of the $2.45MM salary figure submitted by the club.

One of the many intriguing young arms in Miami’s organization, Lopez could be in the midst of a breakout season, with an outstanding 1.57 ERA, 27% strikeout rate, and 6.2% walk rate over his first 46 innings of the 2022 campaign.  Statcast and fielding-independent metrics are also loving his work, though after shoulder problems limited Lopez in both 2019 and 2021, the biggest question down the stretch could be whether or not Lopez can last something close to a full season of work.

It could be that Lopez’s limited track record hampered his arbitration case, as he tossed only 102 2/3 innings last year due to a rotator cuff strain that sidelined him for virtually the entire second half.  Needless to say, he’ll be lined up for a big raise in his second arb year if he stays healthy and effective.  Since there is still some question about how much the Marlins are able or willing to spend on payroll, it’s possible that Lopez’s rising price tag might make him more of a trade chip, yet Miami didn’t have any interest in moving Lopez last winter despite plenty of interest from opposing teams.

With Lopez’s case completed, the Marlins are still slated for a hearing with Jacob Stallings unless they can reach an agreement to avoid arbitration.  You can monitor all of the completed and still-pending arb situations around baseball via MLBTR’s Arbitration Tracker.

    i know it’s early in the season, but he is the NL Cy Young front runner, posted an era of 3 last season and it’s getting paid under $3 mil? kinda dumb if you ask me

      No one is a Cy Young frontrunner this early in the season.

      The arbiter can only consider stats from 2021 and earlier. What Lopez has done this year (for better or worse) isn’t a factor in the ruling. Granted, the lockout pushing these arb hearings into the actual season makes things very awkward.

    We are pleased to have demolished one of our bright young stars in arbitration. No need to pay our players fairly because we won’t ever resign them in free agency anyway.

      Indeed, why these teams won’t step up and just accept his number is beyond me –

      700k {could potentially} cost you a top 5 arm in the NL down the line

      Absurd…..the Marlins are by No means the only ones guilty tho

      Exactly. This is an embarrassment for the Marlins that they even went this far to not pay him 3 mil

    This organization is just plain stupid. Great…they won arb. Now when they try to sign him to a deal you think he’s not gonna remember this over a few hundred thousand? Yet they pay Jorge Garbage Soler like 15 million per year. Idiots.
