MLB hands out championship belt to team that hands out lowest total in arbitration

After two consecutive winters where free agency has moved at a glacial pace, labor strife between Major League Baseball and the Players Association is at an all-time high. Washington Nationals reliever Sean Doolittle, Houston Astros starter Collin McHugh and San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey are among some of the most prominent players trying to make sure their voices are heard. According to a report from Marc Carig of The Athletic, the league hands out a championship belt to the team that does the best in the arbitration process every year.
