Three Nationals head into arbitration deadline day

Three Nationals head into arbitration deadline day
This is going to be a busy day across baseball. A lot of news is going to come trickling out over the course of many hours as players from every club either agree to terms on 2020 salaries or file for arbitration. Hey, I only said it's going to be busy. I never said it was going to be exciting. Truthfully, this is one of the most annoying days of the baseball year. All the players involved are staying with their current clubs. These aren't free agents, they're merely players with at least...

Nats sign Difo for $1 million, avoiding arbitration

Nats sign Difo for $1 million, avoiding arbitration
The Nationals have agreed to terms with Wilmer Difo on a 2020 contract that will pay the utility infielder $1 million if he's on the big league roster, a source familiar with the deal confirmed this afternoon. The signing, which was first reported by USA Today, comes one day before Major League Baseball's deadline for clubs to tender contracts to all arbitration-eligible players. It means Difo and the Nationals will avoid going to arbitration, but it doesn't guarantee him the full $1...

Taylor loses arbitration case, will earn $3.25 million this season
Michael A. Taylor lost his arbitration case against the Nationals, with a panel of three independent judges ruling the outfielder will earn $3.25 million this season instead of the $3.5 million he was seeking, a source familiar with the decision confirmed. Taylor and the Nationals presented their cases before the panel Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla., the first of 13 arbitration hearings between major league clubs and players currently scheduled to take place over the next two weeks. Kyle...

Will Taylor and Barraclough actually get to arbitration?

Will Taylor and Barraclough actually get to arbitration?
Will the Nationals really go to arbitration with Michael A. Taylor and Kyle Barraclough over a combined $525,000? For now, yes, but the chances of the club and the two players settling salary figures on their own before engaging in a hearing next month would seem to be pretty strong, given the lack of difference in their dueling offers. Cases that go to arbitration typically involve a sizeable disparity between sides, almost always at least $1 million. The Nationals, Taylor and Barraclough...

Dozier passes physical, Reynolds designated for assignment

Dozier passes physical, Reynolds designated for assignment
Brian Dozier has passed his physical, making his $9 million contract with the Nationals official, so the club formally announced it has signed the veteran second baseman in the latest move of a busy offseason. Dozier, a former All-Star and Gold Glove Award winner with the Twins, agreed to terms of the deal Thursday but still needed to pass a physical before it could be finalized. With that process now complete, the Nationals have themselves their new starting second baseman for the 2019...

Rendon, Turner avoid arbitration; Taylor, Barraclough do not
The Nationals were able to agree to terms on 2019 contracts with Anthony Rendon and Trea Turner before today's 1 p.m. Eastern time deadline, but couldn't complete negotiations with Michael A. Taylor and Kyle Barraclough, who now must file for arbitration, according to a source familiar with the decisions. Players across baseball with three to six years of big league service time were engaged in down-to-the-wire talks today, and there were so many submissions to Major League Baseball...

Ross avoids arbitration with $1 million deal for 2019

Ross avoids arbitration with $1 million deal for 2019
The Nationals got a jump on Friday's arbitration deadline, agreeing to terms tonight with Joe Ross on a one-year contract that reportedly will pay him $1 million. Ross, who was eligible for arbitration for the first time, gets a raise from his 2018 salary of $567,900, though not nearly as much as some others with comparable big league service time will receive because he missed more than a calendar year while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 25-year-old right-hander is 17-15 with a 4.01...

Nats agree to terms with Solís, tender contracts to six others

Nats agree to terms with Solís, tender contracts to six others
The Nationals aren't ready to part ways with Sammy Solís just yet. Faced with an 8 p.m. EST deadline to tender a contract to the injury plagued and erratic reliever, the Nationals elected not only to bring Solís back in 2019 and give him another chance to right his ship following an especially frustrating season but to sign him right now. The two sides agreed to a one-year, $850,000 deal, according to a source familiar with the terms. The Nationals tendered contracts to all six of their...

Looking at Nationals' non-tender candidates

Looking at Nationals' non-tender candidates
Having passed Tuesday's deadline for adding players to the 40-man roster to protect them from being exposed to the Rule 5 draft at the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas next month, it's now time to take a look a possible non-tender candidates. For the uninitiated, major league clubs can choose to not offer a contract to an arbitration-eligible player - non-tender him - if they would rather risk losing the player to another club than paying him what he might earn through the arbitration process....

Why it won't cost Nats that much if they have to pay luxury tax

Why it won't cost Nats that much if they have to pay luxury tax
In striking one-year deals with all three of their arbitration-eligible players yesterday, the Nationals also got some more clarity on their total team payroll - and its luxury tax implications - heading into the 2018 season. Obviously these numbers could still change depending on other moves the Nats make along the way, from potential free agent signings to potential trades both before and during the season. But what does appear pretty clear at this point is that this is going to be the...

Nats avoid arbitration with Rendon, Roark and Taylor (updated)
The announcement was delayed a bit, but the Nationals did agree to terms with all three of their arbitration-eligible players before today's 1 p.m. deadline, avoiding hearings with Anthony Rendon, Tanner Roark and Michael A. Taylor. All three players agreed to one-year contracts, the club announced more than an hour after Major League Baseball's deadline passed. Given the overload of similar deals being struck around the sport at the same time, it's not uncommon for the formal announcement...

Nats face arbitration deadline with three key players

Nats face arbitration deadline with three key players
There has been precious little news this winter, but there was some news yesterday with Edwin Jackson's return on a minor league deal. And there will be news today. Not huge news, but at this point, who are we to complain? Today marks the deadline for all major league clubs and all arbitration-eligible players to either agree to terms on their 2018 contracts or else formally file competing offers to league headquarters, which then will set arbitration hearing dates to settle their cases. What...

Did the Nationals just smooth things over with Bryce Harper?

Did the Nationals just smooth things over with Bryce Harper?
That the Nationals and Bryce Harper came to terms yesterday without needing to swap arbitration figures is not a surprise. But the amount the two sides agreed to ($13.625 million for one season) did surprise more than a few people. Harper made only $5 million last season - yes, it's OK to use the qualifier "only" in front of $5 million because given Harper's MVP performance in 2015, a $5 million salary the next year truly was a bargain for the Nats - so few expected his raise to be so...

Nats avoid arbitration with Harper, Rendon, Roark, Norris
The Nationals came to terms with all four of their arbitration-eligible players on 2017 contracts before today's deadline, avoiding the potential for contentious hearings next month with some of the most prominent members of their roster.

Harper's 2017 salary will be a hefty $13.625 million, with Rendon making $5.8 million, Roark making $4.315 million and...

Arbitration deadline day for four key Nationals

Arbitration deadline day for four key Nationals
Perhaps the quietest offseason the Nationals have experienced in a long time will perk up with a little bit of news today. All major league clubs have until 1 p.m. EST to agree to salary terms with their arbitration-eligible players or else formally submit competing offers to the league, setting the stage for hearings next month. It's not necessarily the most important day of the offseason. We're not talking about decisions that affect whether someone will be playing for the Nationals in 2017...

Nationals sign Lobaton to one-year deal, avoid arbitration
The Nationals announced a player transaction this afternoon, but not the transaction many have been on pins and needles on while they wait for it to be completed. Pushing a proposed trade with the Pirates for star outfielder Andrew McCutchen aside for at least a moment, the Nationals agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Jose Lobaton, avoiding arbitration with the popular veteran catcher. Terms of the deal weren't immediately known, but Lobaton was due to receive a modest raise from his...
