1 year will be a free agent at end of contract
1 year auto will have their conract automatically renewed at the same amount
I year arbitration will get a new contract but with the new arbitration salary which will be indicated in the contract details screen

Some of these can change throughout the season though based on time in the active roster .. so best to check once in a while

I'm not 100% on how much time a player must spend in the Active Roster per year for them to eventually get to Arbitration .. that's my question

Read this ..... Major League Baseball transactions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ....and was still confused !!

For purposes of salary arbitration and free agency, a player acquires a year of service time if the player remains on the major league roster for at least 172 days of the 182-day season.

Is this the same in the game ?

So to get round this you could demote a guy for more than 10 days at the beginning of hios career ? ... like LAD are rumoured tohave done with Puig





Erm I believe this post confirms that in regards to contracts I haven't a clue
