NEW YORK — The Yankees avoided arbitration by reaching deals with all of their remaining eligible players on Thursday, including a significant raise for second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., who will earn $10.2 million in his final season before potentially reaching free agency.
The financial terms for the deals were revealed to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand via a source: Bednar at $9 million, Caballero at $2 million, Cruz at $1.4 million, Doval at $6.1 million, Gil at $2,162,500 and Volpe at $3.475 million.
Chisholm said late last season that he would be open to discussing an extension with the club, but no significant traction appears to have yet occurred.
The Yankees’ most recent arbitration hearing was with reliever Mark Leiter Jr. last year. Leiter requested $2.5 million but lost his case, earning $2.05 million.
