Salary arbitration in baseball is a messy business—at its essence, it’s a player saying “I’m worth this much” and a team saying “no you’re not,” which is just terrible for workplace morale, and especially in this current financial climate—so it makes sense the Mariners, here in Seattle where we fear face-to-face confrontations only slightly less than the active volcano that looms over our city, do everything they can to avoid it. This isn’t the Bronx, after all. Today it was announced that the Mariners have once again avoided arbitration with all of their eligible players for 2021.
