Holiday bonuses came early for 100 MLB players who qualify for the first-ever pre-arbitration bonus pool.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease will take home the most, a source told ESPN, over $2.4 million after finishing in second in AL Cy Young voting and sixth in WAR among qualified players.

The new collective bargaining agreement, signed between the league and players in March, set aside $50 million for the top 100 players according to MLB's WAR metric who have less than three years of service time in the league.

There are also additional bonuses for those qualified players who finish first or second in Rookie of the Year voting, in the top five for MVP and Cy Young as well as first and second-team All-MLB.

Top 10 Pre-Arb Bonus Pool Payments

Sounds like Boras is up to his old tricks floating bullshit in hopes of upping  Correa’s price. 

would be hilarious if NYY fans get all lathered up about Correa in pinstripes only to see him sign with a team like the Marlins.

Be funny when they fail to win their division, again.

They won 101 games and lost the division title by tiebreaker. On paper, their lineup and rotation have improved. But anything can happen. It’s a brutal division.

NL West is going to be a blood bath 

What does that make the NL East then ?

So playoffs will be 3 each from those two divisions and cards or brewers at 81-81 as the 3 seed?

All I know is Ohtani for one year at $30 million is looking like a steal for the Angels (last year of arbitration). 

Dude is going to blow the lid off the market next year.
