A couple of agents praised the BlueJays for their transparency in settling 2020 contracts with pre-arbitration players. ShiDavidi looks at how their salary scale showed players that they share the same pathway to increasing their salaries.

Well, the process starts with the major-league minimum salary, which in 2020 is $563,500. Anyone on the 40-man roster who has yet to spend a day in the big-leagues will earn that if he’s in the majors.

Each day of active service time in the big-leagues – time on the injured list doesn’t count – up to 430 days is worth $34.88 in extra salary. Using Guerrero as an example, he accumulated 157 service days in 2019, which earned him an additional rounded-up total of $5,500. Add the $5,500 and $10,300 to the major-league minimum of $563,500, and you get his 2020 salary of $579,300.Get the best of our Blue Jays coverage and exclusives delivered directly to your inbox!On the pitching side, the Blue Jays changed their career playing time criteria in response to how usage is evolving, creating a points system aimed at better recognizing the contributions.

A full season of pitching is the equivalent of 72 points and pitchers can accumulate up to a maximum of 180 points to earn the full $25,000, making each point worth $138.89.
