A player can't turn down arbitration. But arbitration isn't automatic. If a player wants it he has to choose to take the team to arbitration.Oh yes a player can sign in advance of arbitration. My question was more along the line of can an arbitration eligible player turn down his arbitration rights, and instead try his luck in the regular RFA market. Obviously one they chose arbitration, then no other team can talk to them about a contract
If the team wanted it, they have to choose to take the player to arbitration.
No one can escape arbitration if the other side chooses to take them. And you still remain RFA.
Arbitration isn't what it use to be. All it is now is a deadline to get a deal done before someone makes the deal for you.
What did I miss?I’m glad Jimmy can listen to Elliotte Friedman and write an article about what Elliotte’s opinion is. Because that’s all this is.
