Teams won seven of 12 hearings last year, including six of the first seven, and had a winning record for the fourth time in six years. There were 112 players eligible for arbitration who agreed to one-year contracts on Jan. 15, the day players and figures swapped proposed figures. Those with deals included New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor ($22.3 million), Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant ($19.5 million), Dodgers outfielder first baseman Cody Bellinger ($16.1 million) and shortstop Corey Seager ($13.75 million), coming off the NL Championship Series and World Series MVP awards. ___ More AP baseball: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
