Matt Swartz at MLBtraderumors.com has published his annual projected salaries for arbitration eligible players, and there are nine Detroit Tigers’ players on the list. If all nine players were to settle their cases for the projected amounts, the salaries would add up to $19.8 million. That would be an increase of $9 million over the total amount that the same players earned for the 2019 season. However, some of the players are not likely to return.
Players who have at least three years of major league service time, but less than the six years required for free agency, are eligible for arbitration unless they have signed a contract covering the 2020 season.
