Before Friday’s deadline had passed, the Astros had six players still eligible for arbitration. Carlos Correa, Chris Devenski, Brad Peacock, and Roberto Osuna all came to a settlement to avoid arbitration. Aledmys Diaz and George Springer are still in disagreement with the front office and are likely headed to the tables for hearings.
Carlos Correa got a sizable raise, agreeing to a one-year $8 million contract for the upcoming season. The $3 million increase was even slightly more than the $7.4 million salary that he was projected to get if they went to arbitration.
