Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Three-time batting champion Luis Arraez agreed to a $14 million salary for the 2025 season with the San Diego Padres, MLB.com reported on Thursday.
The report comes on the same day as the 1 p.m. ET deadline for unsigned arbitration-eligible players and teams to exchange figures. The Padres have yet to confirm the report.
Arraez, 27, batted .314 last season while winning his third consecutive batting title. The three-time All-Star infielder was the first person to win three straight titles with three different teams -- he won the American League crown in 2022 with the Minnesota Twins and the National League title with the Miami Marlins in 2023.
Arraez had 200 hits last season, his second straight year reaching the milestone. He also had four homers, 32 doubles and 46 RBIs in 150 games between the Padres (117) and Marlins (33).
San Diego acquired Arraez from the Marlins for four minor leaguers in early May.
Arraez batted .316 for Minnesota in 2022 and .354 for Miami in 2023.
Overall, Arraez has a .323 average with 28 homers and 247 RBIs in 686 career games over six seasons with the Twins (2019-22), Marlins (2023-24) and Padres.
