It was a relatively uneventful arbitration filing deadline for the Milwaukee Brewers. Three players still needed contracts for the 2020 season. Catcher Omar Narvaez agreed to a deal earlier in the day, signing for $2.725MM next season.
The two remaining players, Brent Suter and Josh Hader, were unable to reach agreements with the club.
How Does Arbitration Work?
Both players will have to exchange salary figures with the team and file their desired salary with the league. This will then go to an independent arbitrator in late January-early February for a hearing, and the arbitrator will decide if the player shall receive the salary that they put in for, or the one the team put in for.
