Tomorrow is the deadline for teams to agree on a 2023 contract with arbitration-eligible players, and the White Sox have four players still without a deal.
To review, players with three or more but fewer than six years of major league service are eligible for salary arbitration if they do not have a contract for the next season. If a team and player cannot agree on a contract by Friday, the parties exchange salary figures, and a hearing is scheduled. Prior to the hearing, both parties usually continue to attempt to work out a contract, and if they still cannot reach an agreement, an arbitration panel then determines a salary for the upcoming season, choosing either the player’s salary suggestion or the team’s.
