The Yankees have nine arbitration-eligible players to come to terms with this winter. They include James Paxton, Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Luis Severino, Tommy Kahnle, Chad Green, Greg Bird, Jordan Montgomery and Tyler Lyons.
Considering the type of production the first six players had in 2019 (Severino is based more on potential in 2020), each should see a hefty bump in their upcoming salaries.
While Montgomery will contend for a starting rotation spot next spring, the Yanks could non-tender the likes of Bird, Lyons, Jonathan Holder, and maybe even Luis Cessa to open up spots on the 40-man roster — and of course, payroll.
