Arbitration figure exchange deadline tracker: Phillies, Alvarado cannot come to an agreement

Friday, January 13 is the deadline for teams and arbitration-eligible players to exchange salary figures for the 2023 season.

The Phillies have six arbitration eligible players: Rhys Hoskins, Ranger Suárez, José Alvarado, Seranthony Domínguez, Gregory Soto and Edmundo Sosa.

Players with three to six years of service time or “Super 2” eligible players can go through a process known as salary arbitration if they do not have a contract for next season.

If the two sides cannot agree to a contract for 2023, they can go to an arbitration hearing before a panel of arbitrators. Those hearings usually take place during spring training, but the two sides are free to come to an agreement any time before the hearing.

J.T. Realmuto in 2020 is a recent case in which the Phillies took a player to an arbitration hearing. His camp argued for a $12.4 million salary while the Phillies offered to pay him $10 million. The panel ruled in favor of the Phillies.

We’ll be tracking all the Phillies news relating to the arbitration salary exchange deadline here:
