I've been searching around the forum a bit and haven't quite found what I'm looking for. I just started the off-season with the Brewers (actually it's still the play-offs but it's the off-season for my Brew Crew), and there a few players on my 40 man roster I'm going to try to trade or if I have to just flat out release. Guys like Chris Carter are headed to arbitration, and I have other guys that I'm on the fence on with auto-renewal contracts. If I cant' trade these guys my plan is to release them, but I want to know what my drop dead date is where I don't have to pay 2017's salary. Do I need all my decisions done before arbitration begins? before spring training? before the first day of the season?

Basically, what date do 2017 contracts start?
