In simple terms, the player wants a certain dollar figure, the team is only willing to give a certain figure so the arbitrator determines a fair figure somewhere in the middle.

Salary Arbitration in Baseball is modelled after court arbitration cases in that an independent arbitrator or arbitration panel arrives at a number factoring player demands, management's counter-offers, player performance and arrives at a salary number.

This is when a player thinks that he merits a certain salary while the club that he is currently playing for, thinks differently. The arbitrator then decides what the salary should be. There is no compromise at all in this.

Salary arbitration is a way to decide what a players worth is when the team and the agent can't come to a deal on their own. Players are eligible for this after they have played three years in the majors. The player and the team submit propsals for a one year salary, and a private arbiter picks one. It is a one or the other deal, the arbiter can't come up with his/her own figure.

The team says you are only worth this much....the player says "I am worth" this much...and they arbitrator picks one of the two amounts.....That is unless the team and player settle in between.

In two words, price haggling.
