Today (Friday) is the deadline for the Giants to offer a contract to their arbitration-eligible players: Sam Dyson, Hunter Strickland, Will Smith, Gorkys Hernandez, and Joe Panik. All that has to happen is the team must offer a contract with no terms. This will allow them to try to work out a deal before a would-be arbitration hearing before Spring Training.
Last month, I took a look at these five players and MLB Trade Rumors’ accompanying projected arbitration salaries and tried to figure out who’d be hanging around and who’d be going.
