NEW YORK --Blue JayscloserLouis Varland,DodgersoutfielderAndy PagesandRangersleft-handerJacob Latzare among 28 players with two-to-three years of service time who are eligible for salary arbitration. Bostonright-handerTyron GuerreroandColoradooutfielderJordan Beckwere the last players to make the so-called Super-2s cutoff, both at 2 years, 133 days.Milwaukeeright-handerQuinn Priesterhad 2 years, 134 days. The cutoff was up from 2 years, 140 days last offseason. The top 22% of players by service time with at least two years but less than three are eligible for arbitration as long as they had at least 86 days of service this year. They join the group of three-to-six-year players. Baseball's collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1 and a management lockout is expected, so it is not clear when proposed salaries will be exchanged or hearings scheduled. PhilliesoutfielderJohan Rojaswas just under the cutoff at 2 years, 131 days. He started the season at 2 years, 36 days, but he was suspended for 80 games during spring training for a positive test for a banned performance-enhancing substance. Rojas then had surgery on June 21 to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow, and when his suspension ended four days later, he was placed on the 60-day injured list for the rest of the season.
