Salary Arbitration
Some leagues have a process called salary arbitration in which an experienced player who has not yet attained free agency can have his salary determined by an independent arbitrator. By default, a player with more than three years of major league service time is eligible for arbitration. A player ceases to be arbitration-eligible once he has attained free agency.
In OOTPB, at the end of a league season, any player whose contract has expired, and who is not a free agent, and who has at least three years of major league service time, files for salary arbitration. An arbitrator determines his value as a player and assigns a new salary to the player. The player is then signed to a one-year contract with your team at the new salary amount. General managers are informed by mail about the value of each player's new contract.
Note: Unlike in real life, there are no negotiations in OOTPB's version of arbitration?you are simply informed of the arbitrator's decision. Additionally, in the real world, players who were in the top 17% of players in terms of service time under three years are eligible for arbitration. This is called 'Super Two' arbitration. However, this rule does not currently exist in OOTPB.
You can see a player's arbitration eligibility on his Contract & Status sub-screen.
