"MLB Players Secure Arbitration Wins for Lucrative Contracts"
Outfielder Austin Hays won his arbitration hearing with the Orioles and will earn $6.3 million for the 2024 season, expressing hope for a long-term extension with the team despite no discussions taking place yet. The Orioles, in the process of installing a new owner, have a slew of candidates to consider for potential extensions, including Hays, who is among the team's oldest starting position players. Executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias emphasized the organization's quiet approach to contract talks, with the team having already signed several players to avoid arbitration.
