Title: Arbitration
Post by: snbts on August 03, 2011, 02:58:18 PM

How do we figure in arbitration if they are already making 3million? Do we take there current salary and multiply it by the year of arbitration? Say the are in arb3(x 120%) and make 3million does that equal to 3.6million.  Am I figuring this correctly?

It's actually much simpler. If a player is in an arbitration year, his salary is his real MLB salary from the previous year. If you have a player who is ARB3 for 2012, he will get his 2011 actual salary.

Any questions, please ask.

So he can just be resigned for the same amount as the previous year??

Let's use an example so we know we're both on the same page:

John Jacobson has a real life salary of $2.5 million in 2011. In AFB, he is listed as ARB (the year does not matter) for 2012 and 2013.  That would mean for 2012 in AFB, he would get a salary of $2.5 million. In 2013 in AFB, he would get whatever salary he received in in real life in 2012.

He may be released at any time without penalty as long as the salary for the remainder of the year is paid. This is only because arbitration contracts are one-year long.
