The Yankees had until noon yesterday to offer salary deals with arbitration-eligible players. The Yankees announced that all nine arbitration-eligible players agreed to new contracts.
To fully understand the arbitration process, it’s fully explained on MLBTraderumors.com. The possible deal that was drawing the most interest is how big a raise right field star, slugger Aaron Judge would get. He hit 52 home runs in his debut year, and 27 in each of the last two injury-shortened seasons was expected to get the most significant raise.
Arbitration dollars are usually figured based on the player’s performance in the previous season.
