Today is an important day for baseball as it is the deadline for teams and players to exchange arbitration figures. I think I speak for baseball fans everywhere when I say that it is nice to be talking about actual baseball news instead of reporting on how many times league and/or MLBPA officials walk across a parking lot during talks.
As of this morning, there were nearly 200 arbitration-eligible players that had to either reach agreements with their teams on a contract for the 2022 season and avoid arbitration this year or exchange filing figures with their teams and prepare for an arbitration hearing (which will take place during the season because of the lockout). While this article won’t be a deep dive into each arbitration case, below you will find a rolling tally of the settlements (which will represent the vast majority of cases) and filing figures for each team as they become available leading up to the 1 PM deadline today
