PHILADELPHIA -- Arizona catcher Daulton Varsho was the last of 30 players who made the cutoff for salary arbitration, which was set at 2 years, 128 days of major league service, up from 2 years, 116 days last offseason.
Varsho hit .235 with 27 homers and 74 RBIs this year and made $721,700. By becoming eligible for arbitration, he likely will get a salary of more than $2 million rather than about $750,000.
He spent the entire 2022 season in the major leagues after being optioned to Triple-A Reno twice in 2021.
San Francisco infielder Thairo Estrada and Cleveland right-hander reliever James Karinchak tied for the most service time in the so-called Super-2 class at two years, 169 days, just three days shy of three years of major league service.
