With the arbitration deadline looming Friday afternoon at 1:00 pm, the Tampa Bay Rays boast 10 arbitration eligible players on the roster:
- Alex Cobb (5.061) – $4.0MM
- Erasmo Ramirez (3.158) – $3.5MM
- Brad Boxberger (3.109) – $1.5MM
- Corey Dickerson (3.101) – $3.4MM
- Brad Miller (3.094) – $3.8MM
- Xavier Cedeno (3.060) – $1.2MM
- Jake Odorizzi (3.042) – $4.6MM
- Tim Beckham (2.134)
- Danny Farquhar (2.168) – $1.1MM
- Kevin Kiermaier (2.131) – $2.1MM
Note: the number in parentheses next to each player is his estimated Major League service time (Years.Days) through 2016 (172 days constitutes a full year of Major League service, per the collective bargaining agreement). Marked in italics are the two players who may qualify for Super 2 status, allowing players to enter salary arbitration a year early.
Once the deadline passes, and if the team and the eligible player don’t come to a consensus on a deserved salary, each will submit their proposed number, and head to an arbitration hearing in February.
We’ll update this piece with any information as it becomes available.

#Rays have settled nine of 10 cases, with only Jake Odorizzi to go to a hearing.

It’s #Rays policy not to negotiate after deadline to exchange figures so it appears Odorizzi heading to a hearing.

The only person to win an arbitration case against the #Rays was Drew Smyly last year.
