Nine Yankees are eligible for arbitration this offseason, including Luis García Jr., Anthony Volpe and Austin Wells.

With those three and few of their teammates due for raises, MLB Trade Rumors projects the salaries for the Yankees’ arbitration eligible players will be about $36.7 million. However, some of those players could be non-tendered. Others could be traded this offseason.

For now, here is a look at each player and their projected salaries, per MLB Trade Rumors.

1B LUIS GARCÍA JR: $11 MILLION

Acquired from the Nationals this past summer, García is looking at a significant pay bump following a career year. The left-handed hitter made $6.88 million in 2026 while setting personal bests with 30 homers, 92 RBI, a .277 average and an .831 OPS. While García has only played first since becoming a Yankee, Aaron Boone has hinted that there could be more versatility in the 26-year-old’s future. García played second base for the Nationals in 2025, but not well.

RHP CLARKE SCHMIDT: $4.5 MILLION

This past season was essentially a lost one for Schmidt, as he only appeared in one big league game after returning from Tommy John surgery. Biceps cramping followed shortly thereafter, and he was shut down for the postseason. A full-time starter from 2023-2025, Schmidt worked his way back as a reliever this year in an effort to help the Yankees’ bullpen. Now it’s unclear how the 30-year-old fits their pitching staff, as the club has six other established starters. Schmidt made $4.5 million in 2026.

INF ANTHONY VOLPE: $4 MILLION

Volpe, 25, made $3.48 million during a rocky 2026 season that began with him recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and saw him optioned back and forth between the minors. The former starting shortstop also learned second base, which could improve his odds of sticking with the Yankees since Jazz Chisholm Jr. is headed for free agency. However, Volpe remains a below average hitter.

UTL JOSÉ CABALLERO: $3.7 MILLION

Caballero got some run as the Yankees’ starting shortstop in 2026 and hit for more power than he ever had before, but the 30-year-old still kept in line with career norms and finished with a sub-.700 OPS. A speedster, he stole 34 bases and continued to provide versatility while earning $2 million. He could get consistent opportunities at second and third next season depending on how the Yankees’ offseason shakes out.

OF HELIOT RAMOS: $3.2 MILLION

Ramos got off to a slow start with the Yankees after being traded by the Giants, but he did finish the regular season on a high note before going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series. Now he’s headed to arbitration for the first time. The outfielder, 27, isn’t the best defender, but the right-handed hitter gives the Yankees a backup in the corner who can be used against lefties.

LHP RYAN WEATHERS: $3.1 MILLION

Weathers, who made $1.35 million in 2026, ended up being one of the better trade acquisitions made last offseason. Dealt by the Marlins, the lefty posted a 3.60 ERA over a career-high 25 starts and 137.1 innings before suffering a flexor strain. The 26-year-old made it back in time to pitch out of the Yankees’ bullpen in the ALDS and figures to be a rotation option next year.

C AUSTIN WELLS: $2.6 MILLION

Wells, 27, was one of the worst hitters in baseball for an extended stretch in 2026, but he found his groove after going on the IL for cervical headaches midseason and stayed hot at the plate through the playoffs. The first-time arbitration eligible catcher also continued to excel behind the plate; expect the left-handed hitter to stay put while the Yankees look for a righty-swinging platoon partner.

RHP LUIS GIL: $2.3 MILLION

Gil won the AL Rookie of the Year Award in 2024. Since then, the 28-year-old has not proven that he can be a viable big league pitcher, as he has suffered from diminished stuff, velocity and command while battling multiple injuries. Gil, who made $2.16 million in 2026, is an obvious non-tender candidate if the Yankees can’t move him in a trade.

RHP FERNANDO CRUZ: $2.3 MILLION

Another non-tender candidate is Cruz, who enjoyed a career year before suffering a partial tear of his UCL toward the end of August. It was an unfortunate diagnosis for the reliever — Cruz even said he refused to accept it — as the late bloomer is 36. As of the end of the season, he was pushing off surgery that would sideline him for 2027, but the Yankees could still move on given the uncertainty in his elbow. Cruz made $1.45 million in 2026.
