Mickey Moniak has emerged victorious in his salary arbitration case against the Los Angeles Angels, receiving a raise to $2 million, while the team had proposed $1.5 million. This decision comes from the arbitration panel after hearing arguments from both sides.

Mark Leiter Jr. is also in the spotlight, becoming the first player to face a hearing with the New York Yankees since 2017. He requested $2.5 million, while the Yankees countered with an offer of $2.05 million. His decision will be announced alongside that of Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and Pirates pitcher Dennis Santana.

Meanwhile, San Diego pitcher Michael King reached an agreement with the Padres for $7.75 million, after being acquired from the Yankees in the trade for Juan Soto. In addition, Milwaukee catcher William Contreras agreed to a $6.1 million deal, showcasing his standout performance from the previous season.

Moniak's statistics from last year included a .219 batting average with 14 home runs and a career-high 49 RBIs. This was his first arbitration eligibility after earning $770,000 previously. Several other players, including Luis Rengifo of the Angels and Nathaniel Lowe of the Nationals, are also set for hearings, highlighting a busy arbitration season.
