According to Jason Mackey, the Pittsburgh Pirates and JT Brubaker have settled on a $2,275,000 salary for 2023, avoiding the arbitration process. 

Brubaker went 3-12, 4.69 in 28 starts during the 2022 season, with a 3.92 FIP, a 1.46 WHIP and 147 strikeouts in 144 innings. He has exactly three years of service time. His projected 2023 salary according to MLB Trade Rumors was $2M.

Today is the deadline for players and teams to agree on salaries for the 2023 season ahead of the arbitration process beginning. The Pirates still have Robert Stephenson, Duane Underwood Jr, Mitch Keller and Ji-Man Choi on their list of arbitration eligible players without agreements yet.

The Pirates are one of many “file and trial” teams, so if players don’t agree to deals ahead of the deadline, they will have an arbitration meeting to settle the salary.

John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
