Arraez interested in extension with Marlins.

Reigning two-time batting champ Luis Arraez is set up perfectly to get an extension this Spring, but he has yet to hear from the club.

Arraez, who will celebrate his 27th birthday on April 9, recently underwent arbitration against the Marlins and lost. As reported by El ExtraBase, he is set to earn $10.6 million for the 2024 season. With one more year of arbitration eligibility remaining, Arraez will be able to explore the free-agent market after the 2025 season.
Regarding his arbitration outcome, Arraez commented, "Not yet. We just went through the arbitration process. Business is business. Right now, I'm focused on helping my team win, making the playoffs, and hopefully reaching the World Series. We'll see what happens."
During his debut season with the Marlins, Arraez achieved personal bests in several categories, including games played (147), home runs (10), RBIs (69), batting average (.354), slugging percentage (.469), and OPS (.861). He earned the starting second baseman position for the National League at the All-Star Game, received a Silver Slugger Award, and secured an eighth-place finish in NL MVP Award voting. Notably, Arraez also made history for the franchise by hitting the first cycle.
​"Absolutely, without a doubt," Arraez affirmed regarding his desire for an extension. "I'm fully invested in Miami. My family resides here, and it's home to everyone. The fans have been incredibly supportive, and I have a deep affection for the team's uniform. Let's wait and see how things unfold."
