arbitration

Recommended Posts

First two years: Major league minimum or close to majorleague minimum

third year: almost twice as much as major league minimum (I don't know why...)

fourth year: Arb. year #1. Salary usually around 1.5 - 2 million, can reach over 5 million for spectacular players.

fifth year: Arb. year #2. Salary goes up by 3 million or so.

Sixth year: Arb. year #3. Small market team trades player :lol:, salary goes up by another 3 mil or so.

Of course, the salary is not set, it's dictated by performance and the opinion of the arbritrator. Players ask for huge amounts, teams ask for really low amounts. Usually a middle of the road contract is signed before arbritration actually takes place.

Teams can offer arbritration to their free-agents to maintain them or to attempt to gain draft picks if another team signs a player. A team ALWAYS offers arbrtration to a player signed by another team before December 8th or whatever the deadline date happens to be. For players under a team's control, if they are not offered arbritration (because they would likely make more than they a re worth) they are non-tendered. Becoming complete free agents.

It's that simple. :lmao:

Too bad MVP doesn't have arbritration.
