The Orioles and Trey Mancini won’t be headed to an arbitration hearing over this season’s salary after all. Despite proclaiming a “file and trial” stance towards negotiating after the exchange of salary numbers, the O’s kept negotiating and they reached a deal with Mancini. In addition to settling on a salary for 2022, the O’s and Mancini also agreed to add a mutual option for the 2023 season.
The new negotiated contract for Mancini calls for him to receive a $7.5 million salary for the 2022 season, with a $250,000 buyout if either side declines to exercise a $10 million option for 2023.
