What do they mean by arbitration? Does this mean Price will not be a Ray after next season? Why wasn't he just traded now?

Re: Can someone explain the 1 year deal to avoid arbitration
They signed a deal to avoid arbitration. At arbitration, a judge will hear arguments from the team and the player's agent to set salary, which salary is binding for that year. It can get ugly and messy as far as feelings go, so avoiding arbitration is good for the player and team.
He will be a Ray for next year and I believe they have his rights for one or two more years before free agency.

does that mean he goes through this every year until free agency?

Yes, either one or two more times, so long as he's still with the Rays and doesn't sign a long-term deal.

He has two arbitration years, and next year he will be in the same boat of signing a new deal or taking it to the judge. The word is that the small market Rays simply won't have the cash to sign him long term. I'm sure they would love to do it, and they have been good about tying up some of their younger guys like Longoria. However, if DP was a free agent today, he would be in that 7-10 yr deal at $20M per year range. Don't be surprised if a big market puts 8 years and $200 M on the table at the end of 2014. |

This seems like a bad situation for David. When his stock is higher than ever, he can't parlay it into a monster contract. If he doesn't bring it next season, his stock falls and contract gets smaller.

Just look at the deal Greinke just signed in LA. If Price stays healthy, he stands to get a bigger contract down the road than he would have gotten as a UFA this year. Plus, I don't think a lone bad season does much to dent Price's stock given that he has now performed at an ace-level for several years. The only thing I could see derailing his value would be a major injury. That's always the big risk for pitchers on the cusp of a major contract. |

Even if he has two subpar years he's looking at a 9 figure deal. With his age, talent, obvious leadership, and work ethic, two seasons like last year make him one of the 10 highest paid players in the history of the game unless he just decides he loves Tampa and gives them a huge home town discount. |
