Spotrac projected the club\u2019s payroll at approximately $301.5 million prior to arbitration agreements being finalized. <\/p>\n<p>With all of the figures now in place, the Phillies\u2019 projected payroll keeps them near the fourth luxury-tax threshold, which carries a 110 percent penalty on every dollar over.<\/p>\n<p>The Phils previously avoided arbitration with catchers Rafael March\u00e1n ($800,000) and Garrett Stubbs, who agreed to a split contract on Nov. 21. Stubbs will earn $925,000 in the majors and $575,000 in the minors.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s where things stand with the rest of the arbitration class as agreements continue to come in.<\/p>\n<p>Jes\u00fas Luzardo, LHP<\/p>\n<p>2026 salary:\u00a0$11 million (per WHDH Boston&#8217;s Ari Alexander)<\/p>\n<p>Free agent:\u00a02027<\/p>\n<p>Luzardo is now a staple at the top of the rotation. He made 32 starts in 2025, led the team with 15 wins and finished with a 3.92 ERA. His 2.90 FIP ranked among the league\u2019s best.<\/p>\n<p>The Phillies have already expressed interest in exploring a long-term extension, making this deal more of a bridge than a short-term commitment.<\/p>\n<p>Alec Bohm, 3B<\/p>\n<p>2026 salary:\u00a0$10.2 million (per The Athletic&#8217;s Matt Gelb)<\/p>\n<p>Free agent:\u00a02027<\/p>\n<p>Bohm\u2019s salary comes amid continued uncertainty about his long-term place in Philadelphia. Even in a season viewed internally as a step back, he hit .287, the highest average among third basemen with at least 400 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p>At a double-digit salary, he could still factor into trade discussions as the Phillies look for flexibility as the offseason continues.<\/p>\n<p>Jhoan Duran, RHP<\/p>\n<p>2026 salary:\u00a0$7.5 million (per The Philadelphia Inquirer&#8217;s Scott Lauber)<\/p>\n<p>Free agent:\u00a02028<\/p>\n<p>Duran\u2019s deal stands out relative to the market for late-inning relief. After arriving at the deadline, he posted a 2.18 ERA in Philadelphia and converted 16 saves, finishing the season with 32 overall.<\/p>\n<p>With two years of control remaining, he remains the centerpiece of the bullpen.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson Stott, 2B<\/p>\n<p>2026 salary:\u00a0$5.9 million (per FanSided&#8217;s Robert Murray)<\/p>\n<p>Free agent:\u00a02028<\/p>\n<p>Stott\u2019s profile remains consistent. He provides plus defense, speed and plate discipline, though the bat remains below league average (96 OPS+).<\/p>\n<p>Late-season success offer optimism, but his struggles against left-handed pitching continue to influence how the Phillies structure their future.<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Marsh, OF<\/p>\n<p>2026 salary:\u00a0$5.2 million (per The Athletic\u2019s Charlotte Varnes)<\/p>\n<p>Free agent:\u00a02028<\/p>\n<p>Marsh enters 2026 positioned as an everyday outfielder. He hit .280 with a .785 OPS in 2025 and provided above-average defense in both left and center field.<\/p>\n<p>He was especially effective against right-handed pitching, hitting .300 with an .838 OPS. How the Phillies deploy him against lefties remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Edmundo Sosa, INF<\/p>\n<p>2026 salary:\u00a0$4.4 million (per The Athletic\u2019s Charlotte Varnes)<\/p>\n<p>Free agent:\u00a02027<\/p>\n<p>Sosa remains one of the roster\u2019s most reliable role players. He moves around the infield, handles left-handed pitching and provides quality at-bats off the bench.<\/p>\n<p>His arbitration number will reflect his usage and his versatility continues to carry value.<\/p>\n<p>Tanner Banks, LHP<\/p>\n<p>2026 salary:\u00a0$1.2 million (per USA Today&#8217;s Bob Nightengale)<\/p>\n<p>Free agent:\u00a02029<\/p>\n<p>Banks emerged as a dependable matchup reliever in 2025. He posted a 3.07 ERA across 69 appearances and held left-handed hitters to a .456 OPS.<\/p>\n<p>At his price point, he remains a cost-effective bullpen option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Phillies reached one-year agreements with all of their remaining arbitration-eligible players on Thursday, continuing the process ahead&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":516522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2397],"tags":[5,4,144,25,4216,40,16702],"class_list":{"0":"post-516521","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-phillies","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-philadelphia","11":"tag-philadelphia-phillies","12":"tag-philadelphiaphillies","13":"tag-phillies","14":"tag-phillies-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115881754213783809","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=516521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/516522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=516521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=516521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=516521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
