\n\tThursday is the deadline for Major League Baseball teams to exchange salary figures with their arbitration-eligible players. The Miami Marlins avoided arbitration hearings in 2025, agreeing to one-year deals with each member of their class. That is once again the likely outcome for them heading into 2026.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIt is customary for arb-eligible players to receive salary increases from the previous year, even if they struggled. Left-hander Braxton Garrett is an exception\u2014after missing the entire 2025 campaign due to Tommy John surgery, he has settled for an identical salary this season.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThese negotiations can sometimes culminate in multi-year contract extensions. Marlins fans shouldn’t get their hopes up, though, as the club has not extended a single player since March 2022 (Richard Bleier).\n<\/p>\n
