Thursday at noon CT was the deadline for teams and arbitration-eligible players to agree to contract terms for the 2025 season, and many of those deals are being reported this afternoon. If agreements aren’t reached, salary figures will be exchanged after 7pm CT and the “fun” of arbitration begins. As of this initial publication, the Cubs have reached agreements with four of their six remaining arb-eligible players.
That number is far lower than it was earlier in the offseason, but the Cubs have parted ways with several players via DFA, non-tender, and trade since then.
