I think the Rangers have four players who are getting arbitration money, namely Jake Burger, Josh Jung, Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran.
My predictions about the Arb dollars:
Citizen: 3 million Duran: 1.25-1.5 million Smith: 2.25 million Jung: 2.25 million That amounts to 9-9.25 million
Okay, let’s make a few additions:
Redraw RP Shawn Armstrong ~ 2 years 9 million (2.5 mil in 26′, 6.5 mil in 27′)
Sign RP Danny Coulombe ~ 1 year 3 million
Sign Mark Leiter Jr ~ 1 year 2 million
Sign SP Zac Gallen ~ 3 years 60 million (15 mil in 26′, 20 mil in 27′, 25 mil in 28′)
Draw RP Hunter Harvey ~ 1 year 4 million
Sign Tyler Kinley ~ 1 year 3 million
Trade for catcher Joey Bart (FA after 2027) 2.25 million in arbitration
These additions amount to a total of 31.75 million. With the additions plus the guaranteed contracts and arbitration-eligible players, this should come to around a million. Again, my math could be clearly off
