Louis Varland, Andy Pages among Super 2 arbitration eligibles

Louis Varland of the Blue Jays, Andy Pages from the Dodgers, and Jacob Latz of the Rangers are among 28 players eligible for salary arbitration under the Super 2 classification. This group consists of players with between two and three years of service time, with the cutoff for eligibility set at 2 years and 133 days. The threshold has shifted from 2 years and 140 days last offseason, allowing the top 22% of players with at least two years but less than three years of service to qualify for arbitration, provided they accumulated at least 86 days of service in the current year.

Additional players eligible for Super 2 arbitration include several from various teams, such as Spencer Arrighetti and Nathan Lukes of the Blue Jays, and Sam Bachman of the Angels, among others. Notably, Johan Rojas from the Phillies fell just short of the cutoff due to an 80-game suspension and subsequent injury. As baseball's collective bargaining agreement nears its expiration on December 1, the timeline for salary exchanges and hearings remains uncertain.
