Peter Holland, Martin Marincin, Frank Corrado opt for arbitration

Peter Holland, Martin Marincin, and Frank Corrado have all elected to go to arbitration. Arbitration hearings will happen from July 20th to August 4th.

Arbitration rules are pretty straight forward: the two parties participate in a hearing in front of an arbitrator. The arbitrator can award one- or two-year contracts--since this is player elected arbitration, the team chooses the term and can also walk away if the player is given more than $3.5M per year. None of these players are going get awarded anywhere near that much money, though.

The players and the team can negotiate and agree to a contract at any point between now and right before the arbitrator comes back with a number, which is what usually happens.
