Arbitration demands and offers to be exchanged next Friday (1/12)

The Ohtani miss and now Vlad's the most notable player to fight it out....Toronto fans can't be feeling great as the next to last Vlad/Bo year begins, and Adam Frazier (oh wait, Isiah Kiner-Falefa) replaces Matt Chapman.

Because you can't predict baseball, they'll probably play like the '84 Tigers.

Orioles at 5 and Marlins at 3 look like the Clubs with 2+.

For sure that is somewhat a byproduct of getting to have a young team that is proverbially "a year better" as it tries to grow the pythag from good to great.

As soft as the April schedule is, it'll be bad news if we aren't accessing the Nice to Have a Laugher once in a while more in the first month than maybe we did all last season.

The biggest gaps in MLB are Adolis Garcia $1.9 mm, Vladdy Jr. $1.85 mm, Arraez $1.4 mm.  The Garcia gap is really huge in proportion to the overall bid and ask ($6.9 mm - $5.0 mm).   Arraez must be feeling his oats - he took the Twins to arbitration last year over a $1.1 mm gap and won.

As to the O’s, O’Hearn has the biggest gap at $600 k, followed by Hays at $450 k, Perez $300 k, Coulombe $200 k, and Webb $75 k.  My initial reaction is that O’Hearn will lose his case, but I’ll have to look for some comps.  They may be hard to find given his weird career path.

I’m surprised that they couldn’t get it figured out with DC and Webb but I get it. People get up in arms over this stuff and there is so much more to it than just the gap in salaries.

The O'Hearn number blows my mind a bit.

Career -1.5 rWAR

How much is a couple of hot months worth?

Most of these will probably settle before the hearing.  The gaps are mostly trivial.

The O'Hearn one is the one that might go to trial. It's about a 20% difference and he really only has less than one year of good performance. The others will settle.

Going back to the OP, MLBTR had estimated him at $3.0 mm, Cot’s at $2.8 mm.  The O’s already offered him more than either of those at $3.2 mm, which is more than double last year’s salary.  I really don’t see O’Hearn getting $3.8 mm on the back of one good season.  But I still want to look for comps.

$3.8 or $3.2 mill is too much for O'Hearn.  I would rather the O's spend the cash on another reliever or starter (I can dream)

    • See, you just can't help yourself.  You gotta get personal haha.  Never fails.  I see that a lot on internet message boards and to me it is always a sign of weakness and/or they have no argument.    Be better. 
    • ESPN (Kiley McDaniel) provides notes and re-rank of his top50.  Note that he removes players who have already lost or projected to lose eligibility in next week or so (meaning no guys like Cowser on O’s or Langford on TEX).  Link to post (note is behind paywall). Holliday #2 and 65 FV tier (along w/Skenes who jumped to #1 overall) Mayo #6 and 60 FV tier Basallo #16 and 55 FV tier Kjerstad #47 and 50 FV tier Fangraphs (Eric Longenhagen) provides update to his top100.  Unlike Kiley/ESPN, this list does not yet reflect any changes or projected changes to rookie eligibility (ie guys like Langford and Chourio are still in the top100 list).  Link to top100 list and his separate write up post. Holliday #1 Basallo #9 Mayo #22 Kjerstad #26 Povich #92
    • Exactly, your point about his upside is one of reasons I advocate him to play CF . And yes our personnel has an opening at CF . Jackson is 20 now and still at AAA . What better time to start crash course on CF than now ?
    • I don't disagree but they've been extraordinarily fortunate w/ their contact. Feels a little like the 2014 Royals series..... everything's a hit.
    • This is crazy to me.  Holliday has shown 29 fps sprint speed in a very short stint up, which is plus-plus speed.  Sprint speed doesn't even peak until like 23 or 24, so he might go even higher.  Sprint speed is one of the universal hallmarks of raw athleticism and a Holliday is really fast.   The argument for athleticism applies doe people like Juan Soto, who is a once-in-a-generation hitter but appears to be pretty mediocre as an athlete by MLB standards.  There's no way Holliday fits that description.   And if athleticism benchmarks are too specialized, just look at his defense.  He's rated at +2 at 2b in only 2 weeks by OAA, and he hasn't even looked his best.  A mediocre athlete wouldn't be able to handle the dynamic movements of a MI position the way Holliday has.
    • Glad to see Kjerstad getting another start tonight.
    • My first 2 choices to trade would be Holliday and Heston of the guys who really haven't played on the Os much yet.  I think you could get almost whatever you want for Holliday (big time starter) and add in a couple of pieces with Heston and get 2 really good relievers.    And before you ask me who?  We have all seen the names on here but guys on other teams are really not by forte.  I will leave that to the experts.  Anyway..... Bingo, your pitching staff is much better.  You can win a WS this year and have pitching for next year.  All without hurting the team this year and maybe not even next. BTW in this scenario I resign Santa in place of Heston.
