Phillies and four players who are eligible for arbitration reach an agreement, and Alec Bohm will trade salary information.
The Phillies declared on Thursday night that Ranger Suárez, Jeff Hoffman, Gregory Soto, and Edmundo Sosa—four players who are eligible for arbitration—have reached an agreement.
Ranger Suárez, the starting pitcher, and Jeff Hoffman, the relief pitcher, reached an agreement with the Phillies earlier in the day. Hoffman signed for $2.2 million, while Suárez’s contract is valued at $5.05 million, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
Bohm and the Phillies will appear before three impartial panelists for a hearing if they are unable to reach a consensus on a 2024 salary within the next few weeks. From now until the hearing, which is set for spring training, the parties are free to reach a mutual understanding.
It is usually not a big deal if an agreement cannot be reached by the deadline. The Phillies don’t have a reputation as a “file-and-trial” team, which means that they occasionally work with players to reach a compromise before the hearing.

Sosa’s contract is valued at $1.7 million, according to Scott Lauber of the Inquirer. The $5 million deal for Soto was reported by Ari Alexander of KPRC Houston.
