Thursday was the deadline for MLB teams and arbitration-eligible players to file salary figures for the 2025 season, with hearings set to begin later this month. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is a notable case, projected to earn $29.6 million, potentially pushing his arbitration earnings over $70 million. The Padres signed Luis Arraez and Dylan Cease to 2025 contracts, but they remain on the trade block. Red Sox’s Garrett Crochet and Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan are discussing multi-year extensions after agreeing to one-year contracts. Several other players went through the arbitration process. Players who agreed to a 2025 contract worth at least $5 million prior to the deadline include Zac Gallen, Randy Arozarena, Josh Naylor, Tarik Skubal, Ranger Suárez, Brady Singer, Cedric Mullins, Ryan Helsley, Daulton Varsho, Aaron Civale, Lane Thomas, Taylor Ward, Alec Bohm, Logan Gilbert, and Nestor Cortes, with fully guaranteed contracts. However, several players like Jarren Duran, Michael King, Brendan Donovan, and others did not agree to contracts and may proceed to arbitration. Stay tuned for updates on their contract negotiations.
