The Cubs’ Willson Contreras and Ian Happ could start the season without salaries established because of delayed arbitration hearings.
“Yeah, it’s going to be kind of weird to leave the team to go to a hearing,” said catcher Willson Contreras, who is in his final year of arbitration eligibility after making $6.65 million last year. “But let’s see what happens.”
Happ, on the other hand, beat the Cubs last winter for his $4.1 million salary in the team’s first hearing since 2018 — the Cubs’ first arbitration loss since Shawon Dunston beat then in 1990.“It’ll be strange,” he said, “but I think that part of the process last year was similar, where you come into camp having just had the decision announced, and then you walk into the halls the next couple days.
In that case, a player is to be paid a salary according to the team’s offer until or unless he wins his case, at which point he would gain retroactive pay based on his filed figure.
