The time has come again during the MLB offseason to talk about the arbitration players! On January 12, teams and players will exchange salaries. The Atlanta Braves have been known to be a “file-and-trial team”. This means they usually won’t negotiate deals after figures are swapped.
The Braves still have four players that are still on the arbitration clock.
This shouldn’t really be called a clock…it should be called a calendar. Arbitration is based on MLB years not minutes and seconds. A player is eligible for arbitration when they have been on a major league roster or disabled list for at least three years.
