Only one is expected not to get an arbitration offer. That would be 30 year-old SP Byung-doo Yi. During the 2042 season, Byung-doo spent the season in AAA prior to getting hurt for about two months with elbow inflammation. During the season, he started 14 games with a 4-4 record and a 4.40 ERA. Byung-doo stuck out 87 batters in 77 innings.

RF – Mitsuhide Suzuki - $750K -> $850K

If all of the arbitrations go through, the team payroll is expected to increase between $1.5M and $2M.
