Arbitration-eligible players exchange figures with teams
Dan Hamilton / USA TODAY Sports
Now that the arbitration deadline has come and gone, a number of key players have yet to agree to terms on a new contract with their respective team.
There is still time, however, for players and team representatives to negotiate a new deal before arbitration hearings take place in mid-February. Both the player and team submitted a figure on their behalf on Friday, and if a deal cannot be agreed upon, an arbitrator will then choose one of the proposals, unlike past years when it was decided on a midpoint.
Here is a list of the players that are still without a deal after the deadline:
