Philadelphia entered the day with just over $225 million committed in guaranteed contracts, the fourth-highest total in baseball. Spotrac projected the club’s payroll at approximately $301.5 million prior to arbitration agreements being finalized.
With all of the figures now in place, the Phillies’ projected payroll keeps them near the fourth luxury-tax threshold, which carries a 110 percent penalty on every dollar over.
The Phils previously avoided arbitration with catchers Rafael Marchán ($800,000) and Garrett Stubbs, who agreed to a split contract on Nov. 21. Stubbs will earn $925,000 in the majors and $575,000 in the minors.
Here’s where things stand with the rest of the arbitration class as agreements continue to come in.

Jesús Luzardo, LHP
2026 salary: $11 million (per WHDH Boston’s Ari Alexander)
Free agent: 2027
Luzardo is now a staple at the top of the rotation. He made 32 starts in 2025, led the team with 15 wins and finished with a 3.92 ERA. His 2.90 FIP ranked among the league’s best.
The Phillies have already expressed interest in exploring a long-term extension, making this deal more of a bridge than a short-term commitment.
Alec Bohm, 3B
2026 salary: $10.2 million (per The Athletic’s Matt Gelb)
Free agent: 2027
Bohm’s salary comes amid continued uncertainty about his long-term place in Philadelphia. Even in a season viewed internally as a step back, he hit .287, the highest average among third basemen with at least 400 plate appearances.

At a double-digit salary, he could still factor into trade discussions as the Phillies look for flexibility as the offseason continues.
Jhoan Duran, RHP
2026 salary: $7.5 million (per The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Scott Lauber)
Free agent: 2028
Duran’s deal stands out relative to the market for late-inning relief. After arriving at the deadline, he posted a 2.18 ERA in Philadelphia and converted 16 saves, finishing the season with 32 overall.
With two years of control remaining, he remains the centerpiece of the bullpen.
Bryson Stott, 2B
2026 salary: $5.9 million (per FanSided’s Robert Murray)
Free agent: 2028

Stott’s profile remains consistent. He provides plus defense, speed and plate discipline, though the bat remains below league average (96 OPS+).
Late-season success offer optimism, but his struggles against left-handed pitching continue to influence how the Phillies structure their future.
Brandon Marsh, OF
2026 salary: $5.2 million (per The Athletic’s Charlotte Varnes)
Free agent: 2028
Marsh enters 2026 positioned as an everyday outfielder. He hit .280 with a .785 OPS in 2025 and provided above-average defense in both left and center field.
He was especially effective against right-handed pitching, hitting .300 with an .838 OPS. How the Phillies deploy him against lefties remains to be seen.

Edmundo Sosa, INF
2026 salary: $4.4 million (per The Athletic’s Charlotte Varnes)
Free agent: 2027
Sosa remains one of the roster’s most reliable role players. He moves around the infield, handles left-handed pitching and provides quality at-bats off the bench.
His arbitration number will reflect his usage and his versatility continues to carry value.
Tanner Banks, LHP
2026 salary: $1.2 million (per USA Today’s Bob Nightengale)
Free agent: 2029
Banks emerged as a dependable matchup reliever in 2025. He posted a 3.07 ERA across 69 appearances and held left-handed hitters to a .456 OPS.
At his price point, he remains a cost-effective bullpen option.
