The Opener: Arb Update, Pitchers And Catchers, Player Chat

By Nick Deeds | February 16, 2023 at 9:38am CDT

After a very busy morning on the second day of Spring Training, here are three things we’ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today:

1. Arbitration Hearings Continue

Yesterday saw both Brewers ace Corbin Burnes and Royals right-hander Brady Singer lose to their clubs in arbitration hearings, giving clubs five wins over the players against three losses. Meanwhile, Angels infielder Gio Urshela, Diamondbacks infielder Josh Rojas, and Cardinals reliever Ryan Helsley all had hearings yesterday, according to the Associated Press. That group joins a group of seven players waiting for a decision following their hearings, with four others still potentially waiting for a hearing ahead of tomorrow’s deadline for arbitration hearings.

Urshela filed at $10MM in his final trip through arbitration, while the Angels countered with $8.6MM. Helsley and Rojas, on the other hand, are both arbitration-eligible for the first time in 2023, meaning that despite facing smaller gaps with their respective teams, the outcome of their hearings will have a more significant impact on the duo’s future earnings than Urshela’s hearing will have on his future earnings. Helsely filed at $3MM to the Cardinals’ $2.15MM figure, while Rojas filed at $2.9MM against the D-backs’ $2.575MM.

2. Pitchers And Catchers Continue Reporting

Yesterday saw a little over half the league’s official reporting date for pitchers and catchers arrive, and after today, Spring Training will have begun for 29 of the 30 big league clubs. Guardians pitchers and catchers do not have their official reporting date until tomorrow. As players continue to filter into camp this spring, previously-unknown injury news, such as that of Frankie Montas and Taylor Trammell yesterday, is brought to light. Additionally, transfers to the 60-day injured list can begin, allowing clubs to temporarily free up space on their 40-man rosters, as the Red Sox did just this morning.

3. MLBTR Player Chat Today

Earlier this week, MLBTR hosted former Yankees pitcher Humberto Sanchez for a live chat with readers, the transcript of which you can find here. Today, MLBTR is excited to welcome former big league right-hander Deck McGuire, who will be hosting a live chat of his own with MLBTR readers later today. McGuire, the 11th overall pick in the 2011 draft, pitched for the Reds, Blue Jays, and Angels during his major league career, racking up 51 2/3 innings over the course of the 2017 and 2018 seasons with an ERA of 5.23. Since then, McGuire pitched in Asia from 2019-2021 before returning stateside for the 2022 season, during which he pitched in the minor leagues as well as the independent Atlantic League. Be sure to tune in at 10am CT today for McGuire’s chat!
