Salary arbitration results keep trickling in, as a result of the lockout that pushed these hearings to taking place during the season.
As reported by the Associated Press (https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34059633/atlanta-braves-lose-arbitration-case-ss-dansby-swanson-beat-adam-duvall), Dansby Swanson has bested the Braves this time, and will earn a $10 million salary for the 2022 season. The Braves were not able to convince arbitrators to pick their $9.2 million offer.
Swanson’s case was an interesting one — he lost a hearing last year and had to settle for $6 million instead of his $6.7 million submission, but an increase from $6 million to $10 million represents a big raise for a non-Super Two in their final year of arbitration eligibility.
