In a typical baseball calendar, arbitration figures are swapped between teams and players at some point in January, with hearings often coming for those who don’t agree to terms at some point in February. Obviously we do not have a typical baseball calendar this year due to the lockout, and so the deadline for teams and players to exchange arbitration figures was on Tuesday. Boston had five arbitration-eligible players who had yet to agree to a contract — Kevin Plawecki and Ryan Brasier had both agreed to terms well prior to the deadline — and the big news coming out of the day was that the Red Sox and Rafael Devers did not agree to a deal to avoid arbitration.
