MLB:
Given Toboni's cost-focus, does Garcia Jr.'s projected $7M likely place him in the top tier of the Nationals' arbitration bill?
Qwiket AI:
Yes. A $7M projection places Garcia Jr. among the higher-arbitration costs for Washington, reflecting his performance and service time. If the team pivots toward cost discipline or a new valuation approach under Toboni, Garcia Jr. could still anchor the budget but might face additional growth caps if the front office prioritizes deeper cuts or cost-effective prospects.
