Four Cardinals File for Arbitration

The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) announced Tuesday that 156 players filed for salary arbitration. Of those 156 players, four were Cardinals. Matt Adams, Seth Maness, Brandon Moss, and Trevor Rosenthal all filed for arbitration. In the next 5-6 weeks, players and teams will exchange figures in hopes of reaching an agreement. If the two sides fail to reach an agreement, they will then head to an arbitration hearing, which take place between Febuary 1-21. Many players will also agree to multi-year deals in order to avoid arbitration in the future (as did Jon Jay last year).

As MLB Trade Rumors notes, here are the four Cardinals Players that filed for arbitration, with their service time in parenthesis and MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz's projected salary for each:

  • Matt Adams (3.033) – $1.5MM
  • Seth Maness (2.154) – $1.2MM
  • Brandon Moss (5.160) – $7.9MM
  • Trevor Rosenthal (3.058) – $6.5MM
  • Projected total spend: $17.1MM
