Super Two Arbitration Threshold Explained | MLB News

The Super Two cutoff for arbitration is heating up—projected at 2 years and 130 days as of July 31—with key players like Rico Garcia, Tyron Guerrero, and Quinn Priester potentially scraping in while others like Randy Vásquez and Riley O’Brien might miss out. Hitting this mark grants four arbitration chances instead of three, boosting long-term earnings. The system’s evolved from two to three years eligibility, with the Super Two category expanding over time as the union pushes for more inclusion. With the labor deal expiring Dec 1 and a lockout looming, offseason timelines could be disrupted—just like in 2021-22 when hearings even occurred mid-season. Meanwhile, next year’s qualifying offer remains steady at $23.1M. It’s a high-stakes game with ripple effects across MLB’s financial landscape.
