MLB Trade Rumors recently came out with their arbitration projections for this coming offseason and if they’re as accurate as they usually are, the team shouldn’t be reaching too deeply into their purses.
The site has listed only 4 current players as having arbitration-related salaries for next year: Cody Asche, Jeanmar Gomez, Cesar Hernandez and Freddy Galvis. Of course, Darin Ruf, Jimmy Paredes, Luis Garcia and Emmanuel Burriss are also arbitration eligible, but the site (smartly) leaves them off, assuming they’ll be non-tendered, which is a pretty safe assumption.
