two arbitration-eligble players (including josh hader)

[djoctagone]

They can trade Josh Hader whenever they want. Pretty sure he doesn’t need to complete the arbitration process first. It doesn’t take a lot of critical thinking by another team to figure out what he will cost. A simple search on MLBTR.com would be enough.

 

Maybe I am wrong, but I’d think the arbitration process would just transfer to the new team.

the dodgers traded for corey knebel without knowing whether he'll settle ahead of arbitration, or head to arbitration with the team.

 

the brewers acquired omar narvaez before his 2020 salary was known (but after the mariners had agreed to tender him), and he settled without arbitration.

 

clubs agree to tender contracts by the arbitration deadline. if a contract isn't reached, then the club and the player head to an arbitration hearing--each with a salary figure. one of those two figures becomes the player's salary for the season . . . no compromising at this point . . . it's one or the other.

Agree. This isn't like the Cubs' situation with Bryant last year, when no one knew how many years of service he had left. Teams might actually prefer trading for Hader before his contract is settled, as they may be looking at doing a multi-year deal with him.

 

With the deals they struck yesterday, I'd guess that the Hader situation is the next thing on the agenda. What they decide to do with him somewhat dictates how they're going to address their other needs.

clubs and players must submit their salary arbitration figures to each other by noon friday.

[djoctagone]

hopefully, we'll learn the figures that the brewers are offering josh hader and brandon woodruff (and the figures that those two are submitting to the club) after the noon deadline today.

josh hader has agreed to terms with the brewers on a one-year contract. no details yet.

[djoctagone]

reported $6.675 mm for josh hader. hader has two years remaining of arbitration eligibility.

Good to see that they both agreed to deals. This makes me a bit more optimistic that the team may spend some money on a few signings yet. Had both gone to arbitration, I wouldn't have been as optimistic.
