Tigers settle with all nine players, avoiding arbitration hearings

Friday, January 15, 2021 was the deadline for players eligible for arbitration and their clubs to submit their salary proposals to each other. The Detroit Tigers had nine players eligible for arbitration this off season, including pitcher Michael Fulmer, who settled with the club on a one year contract worth $3.1 million earlier in the week. On Friday, the team came to terms with eight more players, avoiding the possibility of an arbitration hearing.

Matt Swartz publishes the most widely accepted estimates for MLBtraderumors.com, Due to the abbreviated season in 2020, he produced a set of three figures for each arbitration eligible player this year, although players are credited with a pro rated full season according to the agreement reached between players and owners last March.
