Today is the deadline for players and teams to exchange figures in arbitration — an annual deadline that leads to a slew of one-year deals and, typically, a handful of multi-year deals. In all likelihood, more than 100 players will agree to their salary for the 2023 season within the next few hours. MLBTR is planning to make improvements on our old Arbitration Tracker tool, but that’s a goal for next year. For 2023, we’ll put all of the agreements in this post.
Each player’s service time is in parentheses, and you can of course check back to see each player’s projected salary from MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz. We’ll keep this updated throughout the day — refresh for updates — and break off some of the larger, more prominent agreements in separate entries.

I was wondering when this would be posted.
It’s disappointing. Had brasier racked up just a month and a half more service time he would’ve been a FA and off the club.
Oh well.
They can always non-tender him. Teams aren’t required to pay guys like him. They choose to do so, though.
Why didn’t you guys post an estimate for Ohtani? Did the Angels give him 30 MM before this was made? I assume that, given abr salaries are always based on past salaries, they probably overpaid by 15 MM at least for goodwill that means nothing if they don’t resign him.
You realize he would have gotten a lot more had it gone in front of arbitrator,right? I guess he settled for 30(which is dirt cheap given the production and money the Angels got out of him so far) to go into the offseason with a clear head. This guy came to the league at 23, he doesn’t care much about the money. It wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t take the highest bid in FA. He’ll end up exactly where he wants to.
Do you understand how arb works? It builds off prior salaries. Nobody gets a 24.5 million raise. Look at prior MVPs/Cy Young winners/10 WAR players. Yes, 30 MM is lower than what he would get on the market, but that’s besides the point. They didn’t have to pay him that much and really just get a slight leg up on an extension at market value. No GM in the right mind pays arb players like free agents. That’s the whole point of rewarding player development.
yes but no one has been top 5 in both pitching and batting since before arbitration started so it is uncharted territories. He very well could have gotten more.
Do you actually believe Ohtani would only get $15MM if he went to arbitration? Ohtani probably made the good-will gesture here. I have no idea what the arbitration panel would have given him. How do you value a unicorn?
I do know that players do not get big money until free agency. They certainly never get full value from arbitration,Texas Ranger is correct.
You’re correct, but $30MM is not full value for Ohtani, as we will discover next year. He’s going to be MLB’s first $50MM-a-year player. $30MM? He’s still significantly underpaid. The arbitration panel takes into account many different items, and yes, previous salary is one of them, but what we have here with Ohtani is the first true, two-way player in the arbitration era. He was expected to blow out any previous arbitration records, both in total dollars and in total award.
One thing I am sure of is the Angels and Moreno didn’t award Ohtani an extra $15MM a year out of kindness. I would have loved to have seen what both sides put forth, and I also would have liked to seen Matt Swartz’s projection. We can speculate if he would have reached $30MM, but he would have obliterated $15MM. For one reason, the Angels wouldn’t submit an arbitration number that low for him. I suspect both sides recognized this is uncharted territory, so they were kind of like, “uh, yeah, $30 million sounds good for us, how ’bout you?”
google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34703…
The highest raise ever is less than 10 million. Ohtani didn’t do the Angels any favors this time. Sure, the last contact was an underpay, but even without the cheap arb conract he signed, he wouldn’t get a cent more than 25 MM this year. Say 13 MM and then 20 MM this year if he didn’t extend for cheap. The Angels 100% overpaid and nobody with knowledge of MLB would say Ohtani is that much better than any player ever before.
With ohtani you need to pay for the pitching production, AND you pay for the hitting production.
He’s not just a pitcher that hits during his starts. He’s a pitcher AND a dh/position player. You’ve got to allocate an award to each side of those slots.
Was he a 18m arb pitcher? A 12m arb hitter? Then you’d get to 30m.
If you consider WAR to be legit, consider what Mike Trout and Mookie Betts got their third time around (Bellinger before he was non-tendered) and consider prior salaries. His combined WAR was around 10. At most, maybe he is 15-20 MM but no more. Raises DO MATTER. We are not debating what he gets if he never signed that contract for 3 MM and 5.5 MM before. Then, maybe he gets 20-25 and maybe even more. Regardless of what he gets as a free agent, the raise would not be that high in any world. Sure, he is probably worth 45-50 MM a year and could have gotten much higher, but he wouldn’t under these current circumstances. Ignoring that is absurd.
What is being ignored by the dude that is so certain that the arbitration raise for Ohtani is absurd is this – due to MLB signing rules, at the time that he was posted he was under 25 years old, Ohtani was subjected to international signing rules. This capped his bonus at $3.557 million and limited him to a rookie salary scale. They had some form of agreement to make up for some of that later in the arb process.
If Shohei had been 25 when he was posted, the bidding war would have been crazy. He left a lot of money on the table at the outset for the chance to come over here to play MLB. By taking that very under market deal, he has set himself up to make MLB history.
He left a lot of money on the table.
*********
Had he waited two additonal years, GM’s were predicting he would land a $200MM+ deal.
White Sox and Giolito will be off by $54.50. The White Sox will come up by $54, but Giolito will not be willing to come down to meet them. The White Sox will finally cave on the last $0.50 just before they go into the arbitration hearing.
We’ll, THIS comment aged badly, lol. Sox and Gio agreed on a deal today.
Not sure why I can’t response to DeGrom’s messages, but it looks like Ohtani signed before MLBTR released their original projections.
Because that guy mutes everybody who disagrees with him.
…which means he will end up muting 3/4’s of the posters here given enough time. It’s okay to have differing opinions, but he often resorts to personal attacks for those who do disagree.
I don’t even remember disagreeing with him lol
Angel Hernandez playing coy and oblivious… all normalcy has returned to the world.
Please extend Edman on a long term deal.
Tim, great job and always appreciated keeping a central post for quick review.
I still believe there is value to include the original projected arbitration numbers in this update, side-by-side: Juan Soto (4.134): $23MM agreement, vs. $21.5MM projected. Both individually, and even more so collectively for teams, the final number vs. projected is important for teams skirting in and around the luxury tax tiers.
Reds need to cut Senzel. Sign Bauer! They will make money on him. Apparently, they are poor and and dont have any money….The Moose ate it all!
Senzel has an agreement and would get paid regardless, but how does it work for someone in arbitration who is DFA’d before an agreement or hearing? Would the hearing still go forward? I’d think the team would still be obligated to that contract.
With all the craziness over Correa, this went under the radar for the Mets that none of their arbitration cases had negotiated settlements. The main things that most Met fans like myself want to see are extensions for McNeil and Alonso. Get it done, Uncle Steve!
I’ve noticed the Yankees seem to wait until the last moment and then announce all their signings at once, instead of letting them drip out over the course of the day. Not sure why, but also not sure it matters.
I just popped in here to see if they had an update. Seems they are waiting. Either that, or they’re going to take 14 players to arbitration. : -). It is possible some of these won’t close today but will before the arbitration hearing. That’s what happened with Judge last year, although last year was a little crazy with the lockout.
Looks like 11 of 12, with Gleyber the only holdout. The gap is only 500K, so I’d be surprised if this reaches a hearing.
Diversion. If they announce them all at once it’s harder to develop cogent questioning and detracts from the fact they haven’t adequately addressed LF.
Honestly, it probably just an internal preference for whomever sends or reviews the press information for the release.
Torres is a good player but a knucklehead. I hope they trade him for a decent LF/3B return.
Plus, they should sign Brian Anderson, imo. He’s versatile and provides the Marwin-type utility with a higher ceiling for offense. They could get him cheap, so he can be dumped if he still sucks.
@Clipper, sadly, I believe LF will be addressed with a dog’s breakfast of players already rostered. A platoon of Ortega against righties and Hicks and/or Cabrera against lefties. Cabrera will likely pick up the Marwin role, although played frequently across the infield and outfield. He’ll start somewhere when there’s a righty on the mound. Back to LF, if not Ortega/Hicks, there’s a chance Florial might finally get a shot, and that would be fun, but I’m not convinced he can hit MLB pitching, and it appears the Yankees aren’t convinced either. He needs a hot Spring Training. So mid-January prediction:
LF — Ortega/Hicks
3B — LeMahieu
SS — Peraza
Super sub — Cabrera
I tend to agree with you. As long as DJL is/remains healthy that’s fine with me because he played an elite 3B when he was there and he can hit.
LF? That’s yucky. Hicks will hopefully be moved before he plays another game in pinstripes, otherwise it’s a recipe for disaster. Once he watched that ball in the OF and then blamed the Yankees/Boone, he should’ve been cut or shipped out for a prospect.
Ortega? Hm, okay, not bad, but are we trying to win a WS or just maintain? This is not the season for trial players as starters, imo. I did read a big LF trade is coming, just not right away, whatever that means.
Oh, I agree. The Yankees shouldn’t be piecing together LF, but it appears they’re going to. I suspect they’ll use in-house options to start the year, and then they’ll make a trade midseason for Reynolds if the price drops, or Happ, if the Cubs aren’t contending and he doesn’t sign an extension, or someone else. For the third straight year, our LFer at the end of the season will be different than our LFer at the start.
Doesn’t seem like MLB clubs have a ton more money to spend this year?
Every team did get a 30 mil payout from the bamtech sale to Disney
They have a bunch of money to spend every year. The biggest difference this year is that it’s post-contract signing so teams know exactly what to expect for their planning for the next 3-4 seasons.
Dusty is right also. The extra Disney money to each team is a big boon for them. It pays Ohtani’s entire salary; Or Pittsburgh’s entire payroll.
Bloom is 8 for 8. Cash man is 7 for 12.
Yet another in a long line of wins for the Red Sox.
Ownership since 2004, thanks to Mariano.
All in good fun, just relax.
We know you’re secretly waiting for #28 to switch back Hayzee. And we are going to welcome you with open arms….
What when he’s old and grey???( tortured whole life before 04) have to strike when I can clipper… lol
Um, I’m already old and grey.
Hayzee ….. not how you look my man…. It’s how you feel!!!!… careful those damn Yankees fans …. Well they won’t be happy till they get # 28….
In my case it’s not the grey that’s annoying, it’s what’s missing!
Baseball cap lord D!!!
Bloom is 8-for-8 bc he’s a pushover and won’t survive being in an arb room. Agents and players will bulldoze him. Reaching settlements was the best thing for him so now he can continue dumpster-diving. /s
What size hat you wear? Clip has a #28 WS cap waiting for you.
Stay away from him you …. You….. evil empire!!!…. Not Fisk and Pinnella but ah was a fun time ( for Yankee fans) Lol….
Hey, I met Fisk when he was about 50. I was wearing a Clarence deMar marathon shirt. He looked at it and said, “You’re even crazier than I am.” We had a fun chat in the hotel lobby just outside of Concord, NH. It was about 20 years ago, he was going over to Keene to watch his nephew pitch. Fun to meet him completely by luck. He was a cool guy.
Wow.. so cool hazy.. crazy thing I live in a suburb of Chicago… Fisk lives In Lockport Illinois. Saw him a few times in last 15/20 years getting gas… saw my plates and smiled as I waved…
Burnes the only Brewer w/o a deal yet. Wonder if that means that are attempting to extend him…?
Wonder how far apart the Braves and Fried are.
It may offer a signal of how likely they are to extend him vs letting him walk after next year.

Mitch Garver supposedly got 3.9 million.
Yay! They saw my anonymous tip I submitted through the contact us section and/or comment and linked Garver’s 3.9 million!
Bichette saw what guerrero jr got and is holding out for the same??
Arbitration is yet another example of the broken economics of baseball, whereby mlb teams concoct a veiled scheme to not pay players their actual worth. Sign players to actual contracts, both parties adhere to the terms of the contract for the length of the agreement. Oh, and set limits on how much each team can spend on major league level contracts.
