$26 mil in the final year of arbitration is a record. Betts will surpass it, but clearly the arb process is working better than the FA process for the players. They should push for earlier arbitration

Hal sucks
That's been my point all along.
The vast majority of players never get that big payday the big FAs get, and in theory, if the big FAs hot less, maybe there'd be more money to spend on mid-range contracts. Make the arb years start earlier for those who never have long enough careers to get even one nice arb salary year. More players get multiple arb year salaries.
Spread the wealth to more players, and you'd think the majority of players would vote for the deal, even if their total piece of the pie doesn't get bigger or much bigger.
About time Colorado held on to someone who is doing well for them.
It's been a long time...
