" Yeah."

" I'm Jim Bolden and welcome to GMs corner this show was create to show the game the eyes of the general manager. But more importantly. If the opinions the information in the analysis from the people that operate the game and custodians of the game. Team president like Dave Dombrowski general manager like Billy Beane and Theo Epstein. Players like LM VP Joe power. Also we're gonna have super agent Scott Boras all the people that make the noise in the game are going to be on this show. You -- know what's -- baseball you know how it's broken down behind the scenes come to our show that you can't corner. Our first -- is finally at about salary arbitration our guests today include Ford general managers Dave Dombrowski from the Detroit Tigers. Frank -- from the Atlanta Braves. Josh Byrnes and Arizona Diamondbacks and -- a pyro in the Cleveland Indians two of -- are related and baseball Scott course from the -- corporation. Adam -- for wasserman union had Michael -- gonna join us. Those Al MVP Joe Mauer and former player Sean Casey. Arbitration is a process that takes place for players under three years of service time -- on top 70% of the class. And also all players between three years and just under six years of service want to be arbitration. When those players can't get agreement with the club we need a process that's how much they should be paid. A panel three arbitrators will decide what number player gets paid the players number -- the club's number. Talk about -- arbitration lets go to my GM growth but that's right we've got Dave Dombrowski from the Atlanta Braves frank Wren. With the Indians marks your card from Arizona Josh Byrnes. At first of all let's start with what do you think of the process."

" Well that two things one I don't like dynamic creates a player that you'd be afraid to use it go because this is set up. I don't enjoy dining -- I think it creates. Environment works -- setting. And -- out yet you're having to say difficult things about a player the player present to. I think it's arbitrary arbitration archer. And one they may resonate and you may lose the case we."

" The only thing that I really liked about it is your position working under settlements your group. I'm really make that decision or you. And so that took third party that's of necessity but for -- really it's a process I really do not like I have been and numerous. Arbitration -- sources in the past. Yes left the meetings where players walk out and you don't have the same relationship -- then that you got orderly and so that's never thought that."

" I think he Nancy -- that the arbitration process as free agency has become -- Raiders source efficiency. You arbitration process produced a lesson last."

" You have not been arbitration the last four years frank obviously it's a process the Braves would prefer not to be apart of can you kind of breakdown what your parents did an arbitration Weinstein -- cases."

" I just I don't think we're up rate everybody I think there's some organizations that just -- wanna go I don't think we're in that category. Are we -- Brookline going. But like every club if you got your choices you'd rather not by Ian -- situation. We went several times with -- Andruw Jones Kevin Millwood John Rocker I think that was our last group that we went consistently. That probably isn't it -- Scott Boras being the agent resemble those players are because that's obviously not a process that Scott's afraid -- it. Here."

" later in the show as well as far as you know the reality that we make -- you're that's fine you know I think we all know it's it's part of the process it's not one we. Seek out but it might be one night -- near the end and."

" Detroit we've never had a case go to arbitration. You'll -- a process that you need to use the process but in this situation I think you're always better -- you can negotiate -- settlement rather than have and a third party to do that."

" What would you change about the arbitration process if you had a chance to fix."

" Wait too long I would doubt about the tender date however about the exchange data out of the hearing date it's it's for 90% of -- three months to get -- predictable outcome. To the extent the tender date you know -- free agency and and someone like this effects team budget. Just information we -- take care of your own party offseason rather -- it all the way through."

" The one -- always. Question. Is we're we have binding arbitration and I have to choose one number or the other now a lot of people say yeah. If you look at the other type of arbitration -- select the number of middle that that pretty much being done all the time so I understand that argument. But I I attended the binding arbitration partner can be a typical."

" That arbitration. I remember going to Andruw Jones arbitration hearing and Scott started the triple you know started. The proceedings in the first thing they did it we we looked up and they opened the double doors to the meeting room and it we will then this flat screen TV. And they showed a video highlight Andruw Jones why hang in diving making a catch. Then the next play he went back to the wall jumped up on the wall made a catch the next play when the right center field gap left center field gap -- unbelievable catches. He hits the ball in the upper deck at the bet. And any it's a bullet back through the pitcher steals second base. And Scott didn't say a word during the whole video presentation which was the first five minutes. And -- for empathy says that mr. arbitrator. Is a five tool player. I look at our guys that work done it matter why we -- Based on what you're assured him he doesn't Superman."
