Athletics

Severino signed a three year guarantee with the Athletics last offseason but can opt-out of the final year ($22M) and return to free agency in 2027.

Atlanta Braves

Chris Sale - 1 year, $18 million club option / 2027 extension

Atlanta originally exercised their club option for 2026, then signed Sale to an extension through 2027 with a club option for 2028.

Baltimore Orioles

Trevor Rogers - 1 year, $6.2 million

Rogers is in his final year of team control and will head to free agency next offseason.

Boston Red Sox

Garrett Crochet - 6 years, $170 million  ($28.3 million AAV)

Crochet signed a huge extension after the Red Sox acquired him last offseason. The guarantee runs through 2032 but he can opt-out following the 2030 season.

Chicago Cubs

Matthew Boyd - 2 years, $29 million  ($14.5 million AAV)

Boyd is in the final year of his contract and will return to free agency next offseason once the 2027 mutual option is declined.

Chicago White Sox

Shane Smith - pre arbitration

Smith debuted in 2025 as a Rule 5 Draft selection and is under team control through at least 2031.

Cincinnati Reds

Andrew Abbott - pre arbitration

Kyle Freeland - 5 years, $64.5 million ($12.9 million AAV)

Freeland is under contract through 2027 but has a conditional opt-out if he reaches 170 innings pitched in 2026.

Detroit Tigers

Tarik Skubal - 1 year, $32 million

Skubal won his arbitration case which resulted in the highest salary for an arbitration-eligible player ever. The two sides were nowhere close in value ($32M vs $19M) and Skubal will hit the open market as one of the most anticipated free agents in history.

Houston Astros

Hunter Brown - 1 year, $5.71 million

This is the highest ARB1 salary for a starting pitcher since Dylan Cease in 2023 ($5.7 million). Cease went on to earn $21.75 million across the final two years of club control.

Kansas City Royals

Cole Ragans - 3 years, $13.25 million ($4.4 million AAV)

Ragans is in the middle of a pre-arbitration extension that covers the first two years of arbitration which includes 2027. That leaves one additional year of control before he reaches free agency in 2029.

Los Angeles Angels

Miami Marlins

Sandy Alcantara - 5 years, $56 million ($11.2 million AAV)

Alcantara is in the final guaranteed year of an arbitration extension he signed with the Marlins in 2022. Miami has a $21 million club option for next year but he’s an obvious trade candidate.

Milwaukee Brewers

Minnesota Twins

Joe Ryan - 1 year, $6.2 million / 2027 mutual option ($13 million)

New York Mets

Freddy Peralta - 5 years, $15.5 million ($3.1 million AAV)

Peralta was acquired this offseason and will earn $8 million in the final year of a pre-arbitration extension signed in 2020. The Mets could target an extension but Peralta might want to test free agency after playing on a below market deal for most of his career.

New York Yankees

Max Fried - 8 years, $218 million  ($27.25 million AAV)

Fried signed his massive free agent deal with the Yankees last offseason and is under contract through 2032. 
Until we get Tarik Skubal news, this is the largest contract ever (by total value) for a left handed starting pitcher.

Cristopher Sanchez - 6 year, $107 million  ($17.8 million AAV)

Sanchez was already under contract through 2030 but the Phillies restructured that deal to extend through 2033.

Pittsburgh Pirates
Paul Skenes - Pre-arbitration

The 2024 NL Rookie of the Year and reigning NL Cy Young will qualify for arbitration starting in 2027 and Skenes is on pace to set records throughout his eligibility. Dallas Keuchel earned $7.25 million in 2016 which is currently the highest salary for a starting pitcher in their first arbitration year. Dallas Keuchel: 11.1 bWAR in two prior seasons - Paul Skenes: 13.5 bWAR through first two seasons.

San Diego Padres
Nick Pivetta - 4 years, $55 million ($13.75 million AAV)

His guarantee runs through 2028 but Pivetta can opt-out of the final 2 years, $32 million and return to free agency in November.

Seattle Mariners
Logan Gilbert - 1 year, $10.927 million

This was the third of four arbitration eligible seasons for Gilber (Super Two). Comps for his 2027 salary likely land somewhere between Max Fried ($15M - 2024) and Framber Valdez ($18M - 2025).

San Francisco Giants
Logan Webb - 5 years, $90 million ($18 million AAV)

Webb is in the middle of an arbitration extension which runs through 2028.

Texas Rangers
Nathan Eovaldi - 3 years, $75 million ($25 million AAV)

Eovaldi is in the middle of a free agent contract signed last offseason.

Toronto Blue Jays
Kevin Gausman - 5 years, $110 million ($22 million AAV)
