Building on earlier agreements, more Major League Baseball teams—including the St. Louis Cardinals, Seattle Mariners, and others—finalized one-year contracts with arbitration-eligible players on January 8, 2026, ahead of the salary exchange deadline. Most avoided hearings, though cases like the Twins' Joe Ryan proceed.
Major League Baseball players' average salary reached a record $4.7 million in 2025, but the growth rate slowed to just 1.4%, lagging behind inflation. This comes as the league's collective bargaining agreement nears expiration, setting the stage for potentially tense negotiations. Attendance and revenue trends remain positive, bolstering the sport's financial health.
