MLBTR Projects Padres Arbitration Eligible Players
As always, MLBTR projects the salaries of arbitration eligible players. The Padres are not under any obligation to tender any of these players contracts, but if the Padres decide to do so, this is what MLBTR thinks the Padres will have to shell out.
It should come as no surprise that Chase Headley, Luke Gregerson, and Clayton Richard are in line for big raises. At this point Owings, Stauffer, and Moseley are all candidates to be let loose. Later this week we will break down the 2013 roster and the financial impact that these players will have.
Below you will see the MLBTR 2013 projections along with the 2012 salaries provided by Cot’s Baseball Contracts.
