Daily News | The Phillies’ Ranger Suárez as the face of the MLB labor fight
It’s easy to see the dollar signs and decimal points, the posturing and legalese, and dismiss the threat of a delayed opening to the Major League Baseball season as a food fight between billionaires and millionaires. Look again, though, and you will find that baseball’s first labor conflict in a quarter-century actually has a human face.Suárez had a historic season for the Phillies in 2021.
“Ranger is kind of what the fight is for,” said Daniel Szew, Suárez’s agent. “He’s one of the poster children in all of this.” This time around, the MLBPA has proposed mechanisms to move the salary structure in a meaningful way for the players at the bottom. In addition to raising the minimum salary, it is seeking to make more two-year players eligible for arbitration, a nonstarter for the owners since these negotiations began. Short of that, the union proposed a bonus pool from which pre-arbitration players would receive additional money for high performance.
For Suárez, receiving arbitration this year could add at least $1 million to his salary, a significant bump for a pitcher who turns 27 in August and isn’t due to reach free agency until he’s 30. Based on MLB Trade Rumors’ projection model, he would make $1.8 million this year through arbitration as opposed to roughly $650,000 on his pre-arbitration contract.Making arbitration available to more players has historically been a third-rail issue for owners.
