A player is eligible for arbitration when they have accrued between three and six years of major league service. They are still under contract with their club, however their salary is not fixed and they are able to negotiate a raise based on their performance on the field.

Arbitration is risky for both parties because a judge listens to their cases and chooses one of their proposed salaries\u2013there is no in-between. Thus, both the player and their club are motivated to settle. This competition simulates MLB Filing Day: there is one hour until the deadline and the parties are scrambling to agree to a deal.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559731&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Baseball contract negotiations are driven by statistics, particular those of the player\u2019s platform year &#8211; the most recent season. Each side compares the player\u2019s statistics to those of other players who play the same position and were eligible for arbitration in prior seasons, and uses those comparisons to support a proposed salary. In addition, they identify market drivers &#8211; the statistics that they believe are the most important in determining player compensation.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, at this year\u2019s competition Temple students were tasked with representing the Seattle Mariners against starting pitcher George Kirby. Temple identified <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/glossary\/standard-stats\/earned-run-average\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">earned run average<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (\u201cERA\u201d) as the market driver for starting pitchers and compared Kirby\u2019s 4.18 ERA in his 2025 platform season to Ranger Suarez\u2019s 4.21 ERA in 2023. Thus, Temple believed Kirby was due a raise of $2.1 million, mirroring that of Suarez. The opposing team believed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/glossary\/advanced-stats\/fielding-independent-pitching\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">fielding independent pitching<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (\u201cFIP\u201d) was the market driver for starting pitchers, and compared Kirby\u2019s 3.37 FIP in 2025 to Max Fried\u2019s 3.31 FIP in 2021 to justify a raise of $3.35 million. Negotiations proceedfrom there, with each side presenting various player comparisons to support their proposed salary and attempting to poke holes in the opposition\u2019s arguments. They slowly move towards a middle ground in an effort to avoid arbitration, though ultimately a deal cannot always be reached.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Competing in the Villanova Baseball Filing Day Competition was an incredible opportunity for Temple students to hone their negotiation skills and gain experience outside of the classroom. Competitors received invaluable feedback from the judges, experienced professionals in the baseball industry including player agents and members of MLB teams\u2019 baseball operations departments. The judges gave pointers on how to craft effective arguments and provided excellent insight into real baseball contract negotiations. The Sports Law Negotiation Team eagerly awaits the opportunity to apply their guidance at their next tournament, Tulane\u2019s International Baseball Arbitration Competition in January.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temple Law\u2019s Sports Law Negotiation Team recently sent two teams to the fourth annual Villanova Baseball Filing Day Competition.
