Turner’s career performance stacks up well with the other four players on the list, including nearly matching the career WAR of his former Nationals teammate Anthony Rendon at this point in their careers. The $23 million Donaldson earned in 2018 seems like a possibly-unreachable upper limit for Turner, but maybe not by much.

Donaldson’s career numbers at this point in his career outpace those of Turner, including an advantage of almost a full season’s worth of plate appearances. Josh Donaldson in 2018 set a record for a player eligible for arbitration with his $23 million salary, a mark that was since surpassed by Nolan Arenado ( $26 million in 2019) and Mookie Betts ( $27 million in 2020). The last four on the list signed for a total of $840 million in free agency, with Kris Bryant currently a free agent for the first time. In this upper crust of former Super Two players are three players who won MVP awards before their fourth arbitration year. WAR is an average of Baseball Reference & FanGraphs Sources: MLB Trade Rumors & Cot’s Baseball Contracts Recent Super Two players in fourth arbitration year Player Coming off a tremendous season - leading the National League in hits, total bases, batting average, stolen bases, and fWAR, finishing fifth in NL MVP voting - stacks Turner up well with his similar, star-studded group. Turner being on the cusp of free agency narrows his field of peers, as does being a previous Super Two player. Here’s what Turner made in each of his first three seasons eligible for arbitration:Ī bedrock of the arbitration process is finding comparable players, both by performance and by service time. If MLB were still open for business at the moment, the 2022 exchange date would have likely been next week. He avoided an arbitration hearing in each of the last three years by agreeing to a one-year deal with the Nationals in the days before the date for players and teams to exchange salary figures. He was a Super Two in 2019, among the top 22 percent of players with at least two years but not yet three years of service time, which got him an extra year of arbitration instead of the usual three seasons.
Turner has five years, 135 days of major league service time, and is going through arbitration for a fourth time. With MLB currently in a lockout, we don’t know exactly when arbitration hearings might take place, but we can at least be reasonably prepared once it happens.
