This might not seem like a big deal and compared to going to arbitration hearings,
it’s not. There have been some hard feelings in the past about players being assigned
a salary in the early years of their careers. [Jack Flaherty](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/flaheja01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2025-03-10_br)
was outspoken about the process; while he didn’t blame the Cardinals, he certainly
didn’t absolve them of being a part of the system.

Most of these guys will make the MLB minimum; it’s expected that the minimum will
be $760,000, with the value being $740,000 last season and $720,000 in 2023. For
now, $760k will be added to pre-arbitration players on the [Salary Matrix](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2025/02/cardinals-salary-matrix-2025-edition/)
until actual amounts are released.
