There are still free agents who need a home, but MLB’s 2023 regular season is fast approaching. We’re only about a month away from pitchers and catchers beginning to report. Before we get there, though, another important offseason deadline is on the horizon.
The Mets, Yankees, and every other MLB team have until Friday to reach agreements with their arbitration-eligible players. If the deadline passes without an agreement, both sides (the team and player) will submit the number they feel is deserving to an arbitrator, who will then decide which is more appropriate.
Both New York squads have several players who are arbitration-eligible for 2023.
