Overview

• The Mets have nine arbitration-eligible players projected to cost about $23.45 million, led by David Peterson at $7.64 million, with injured pitchers Tylor Megill and Reed Garrett and infielder Nick Madrigal flagged as non-tender candidates.
• The Rangers’ nine-player class includes Adolis Garcia at a projected $12.1 million and Jonah Heim at $6 million, with team-focused analysis considering pre-deadline pay-cut agreements or changes at right field and catcher and identifying Josh Sborz as a likely non-tender.
• Kansas City faces one of the league’s largest arbitration groups at 15 players, with local analysis suggesting Jonathan India’s projection should be closer to $9 million and indicating MJ Melendez and several pitchers as decisions to watch.
• Nationals coverage highlights debates on tendering Luis Garcia Jr. at a projected $7 million and Jake Irvin at $3.3 million, with catchers Riley Adams and Jorge Alfaro and reliever Mason Thompson noted as potential non-tenders.
• The non-tender deadline is reported as November 22, and unresolved cases can proceed to January arbitration hearings where an arbitrator selects either the team’s figure or the player’s figure.
