All salary values are VERY unofficial. On occasion, we have estimated arbitration eligibility.
Future arbitration eligibility assumes players will play full major league seasons.
Signing bonuses are typically prorated across the contract, but in some cases may have been paid at the time of signing.
For information like contract history, contract incentives, and more, we heartily recommend Cot's Contracts
Unsigned players salaries are estimated based on the last three years of salary data:

$758.18k for pre-arbitration, $2.59M for 1st-year arb, $3.59M for 2nd-year-arb, $7.7M for 3rd-year-arb, $7.7M for 4th-year-arb.
