Pirates Agree to Terms with 21 Pre-Arbitration Players

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced that they have come to terms with all 21 pre-arbitration players, which means the entire 40-man roster is now signed for the 2017 season. This announcement is just a formality, as the Pirates fully determine the salary for all of these players. Many of the players will end up with Indianapolis, in which case they will have their salary determined by the amount of years they have spent on the 40-man roster, which ranges between $43,250 for one year and up to $129,750 for their third year. Many of the other players will receive the $535,000 MLB minimum salary, or a pro-rated amount of that depending on how much time they spend on the 25-man roster. No actual terms were announced.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
