Abstract Details

2015, Bachelor of Arts, Walsh University, Honors.
This study examines the relationship between Major League Baseball team value and the salary increase received by arbitration-eligible players. In addition, this study analyzes moderators, including player performance, Major League service time, league, position, postseason appearance, and team winning percentage, for their impact on player salary increase. The data for this study was collected from a five-year period, 2010 to 2014. This study finds that there is not a significant relationship between team value and the salary increase that arbitration-eligible players receive. However, there is a significant relationship between salary increase and the following variables: player performance, Major League service time, postseason appearance, and team winning percentage. This suggests that the salary increase an arbitration-eligible player receives is performance driven, and not significantly impacted by the value of the player’s team.
