The Seattle Mariners arbitration candidates total nine heading into the 2018-19 off-season. This is up a little bit from last year when they had seven players eligible for arbitration. The dollar amount is a bit more as well. This year they have a projected $33.5 million if they were to re-sign every eligible player. Last year was only $24.6 million. The main reason for this increase comes from two players, as James Paxton and Alex Colome make up nearly half the amount.
When it comes to the Seattle Mariners arbitration candidates, some of them are no-brainers.
