Salary Arbitration Expert

One of the most coveted bargained-for rights for an MLB player is to arbitrate his salary after establishing himself as a legitimate and valued MLB player.  All players who achieve three or more years of service (and some super 2s) are eligible to enter the arbitration system if tendered a contract to determine salaries for years 4, 5, and 6 in the major league before earning free agency.    

​

The salary for a player dramatically increases with arbitration.  Extensive analysis of the player and comparable players is critical to a successful negotiation and presentation, if needed, at a hearing.  Persuasive slides introduce the three person arbitration panel not the player's background, history, profile and accomplishments which then lead into comparable players justifying our filed number.
