Arbitration Question...

[RonCo]

With Edward Allen not vesting, I can offer him arbitration. The write up in the instructions says that he's Class B and will be given a salary by an arbitrator (rather than a flat rate as I've seen in other leagues). I don't have a baseline for range to expect here in the MBBA. If I offer him arbitration, is there a range these things seem to fall in?

I;d like to know too. Also, is it similar to regular arb where the salary always goes up?

No idea, but I can tell you that you don't have to offer him arbitration to get compensation for him (presuming he qualifies).

I doubt he would accept arbitration, but as a reference, Guerra took arbitration before the 2026 season. He was coming off a 2-year, $5.3m per contract and a 1 WAR season and he was awarded a $5.5m contract.

That is the first time I've ever heard of a guy accepting the arb.

Well, he was 35 coming off of two unspectacular seasons. I would think with Allen's 2027 numbers, he'll try free agency.

I did not know this.
