Players must have at least three years of MLB service time before they can be eligible for salary arbitration. To qualify for the Super Two designation, players must rank in the top 22 percent, in terms of service time, among those who have amassed between two and three years in the Majors. Typically, this applies to players who have two years and at least 130 days of service time, although the specific cutoff date varies on a year-to-year basis.
The Rays also tendered contracts to all unsigned players in the organization, except for infielder Ryan Brett.
