The deadline for teams to reach agreements on contracts with their arbitration-eligible players has caused confusion due to changes in the schedule. Originally set for Friday, the deadline was moved up to Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. The confusion stemmed from conflicting reports, with some indicating a 1 p.m. ET deadline for arbitration agreements and others mentioning the 8 p.m. ET deadline for exchanging salary figures. The Braves have settled with Max Fried and A.J. Minter on one-year deals for $15 million and $6.22 million, respectively, avoiding arbitration hearings.
The #Braves avoided arbitration with Max Fried and A.J. Minter by settling with the pitchers on one-year deals for $15 million with Fried and $6.22 million with Minter, per sources. They were the last unsigned arb-eligible Braves, who will avoid any arb hearings this year.
Deadline for teams to exchange arbitration salary figures with eligible players is 10 am today. https://t.co/4TQfvJlxzE
Today is arb exchange salary day. Fried and Minter will either reach an agreement with the Braves by 1pm ET or they will likely have their respective 2024 salaries determined by an arbitration hearing next month
The Tigers have until 1 p.m. today to reach salary agreements with arb-eligible players Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize, Jake Rogers and Akil Baddoo. Agreements are expected, but if not, teams and players have until 8 p.m. to exchange salary numbers ahead of February hearings.
Just clarifying some other reports out there: The deadline for arbitration agreements tomorrow is 1 p.m. ET, not 8 p.m., per sources. The official exchange of figures among teams and players who haven't come to a salary agreement -- and are likely headed to a trial -- is at 8.
Programming note: The deadline for teams and arbitration-eligible players to exchange salary figures is actually tomorrow, at 8 pm ET, not Friday, as has been reported. I’m told the league and the union agreed last month to move it up a day.
A lot of confusion over arbitration deadline. Was Friday the 12th. Now it's tomorrow at 8 p.m. Plan accordingly #orioles
