Last Friday marked the deadline for teams and arbitration-eligible players to exchange salary figures. Players are arbitration eligible for their fourth, fifth and sixth years of Major League service or if they are within the top 22 percent of service time for second-year players (so-called Super-Two players).
Kris Bryant and Addison Russell were Super-Two players last year. Carl Edwards Jr. is a Super-Two player this offseason by exactly one day. Yes, that’s right if he had one less day of Major League service time he would not be arbitration eligible until next year, his third season in the bigs.
