The estimates come off your budget until the vaues are awarded and those values are put in your budget. A few things to note
- Arbitration is guaranteed for 3-5 year players and can be used even if it puts you over budget
- If you sign a player to an extension lower than his estimate you will gain that budget room
- Any player in years 1-5 as long as you didnt sign an extension manually can be relased between the end of the WS and arbitration hearings for $0 and even if you 0 out their offer to use that budget room prior to FA (for a trade) you must release the player so that estimate is off your budget.
