As projected by MLBTR and recorded on BB-ref, with the guesses I made in a post from August in parentheses.

Britton $12.2 ($13.2)

Brach $5.2 ($5.25)

Machado $17.3 ($17.0)

Schoop $9.1 ($8.0)

Gausman $6.8 ($5.25)

Joseph $1.4 ($2.25)

Beckham $3.1 ($3.0)

My rationale for my guesses can be found here:

I’d probably adjust my predictions a little based on how the season ended, but at this point, why bother?   We’ll find out soon enough.

I don't know why Friday is considered a hard deadline.  Sure the teams and players want to agree by tthen but if they don't they can still negotiate up until the hearings.

Supposedly, the owners have decided that it is.

I'll believe it when I see it.    If I remember right, the O's said they were going to "file and trial" with several players last year, but in the end only went to trial with Joseph (they won) and Brach (they lost).

They also offered Joseph a midpoint deal before the trial and Joseph's reps chose to take their chances.

I wonder why the deadline is at 1 p.m. this year.   I feel like in past years we always started hearing about the deals at the very end of the day.    Oh well, as they say, "the greatest inspiration is the deadline."   I hope we'll hear the results in the early afternoon so it will give us some actual news to gnaw on.    I'm pretty sick of having the exact same conversation every day.

Patrick Corbin reached an agreement for $7.5M.  Slightly less than what MLBTR predicted ($8.3).  Charlie Blackmon is atop the leader board at $14M.

Donaldson got 23.

Quote

I think the model is pretty close to accurate for Donaldson in this case. I could see an argument for a raise in the low 3’s rather than the high 3’s, putting him between $20MM and $20.5MM instead of $20.7MM, but I do not think he will go lower than that.
