On March 23, Japan time, the major leagues reached the deadline for annual salary negotiations with players who have the right to mediate annual salary, and each team avoided the annual salary mediation with most players and agreed on the annual salary for this season. Juan Soto, a young Nationals genius batter, has agreed on an annual salary of $ 17.1 million. This was slightly less than the 2018 Nolan Arenado’s $ 17.75 million annual salary for the second year of the Super 2 qualified athletes’ annual salary arbitration period. According to Joel Sherman, a reporter for the New York Post, 31 players in all majors have not reached an agreement.
Due to the lockout, the deadline for negotiations for annual salary arbitration was delayed to the end of March, and the annual salary arbitration for players who could not agree will be held during the season on off days. According to Sherman, the desired amount of 31 players who could not agree and the amount offered by the team are as follows.
