The Angels will likely be heading to an arbitration hearing with left-hander Reid Detmers.
While Jo Adell, Zach Neto, Brock Burke, Logan O’Hoppe and José Soriano agreed to one-year deals for the 2026 season ahead of Thursday’s deadline to exchange figures, Detmers and the Angels did not reach an agreement. That means his salary for this upcoming season will likely be decided in an arbitration hearing, though teams and players can negotiate after the deadline up until the hearing date, which would take place between Jan. 26 and Feb. 13.
According to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, Detmers filed at $2.925 million, and the Angels filed at $2.625 million.
Detmers, 26, impressed in his first full season transitioning to a relief role in 2025. Making 61 appearances, he posted a 3.96 ERA with 80 strikeouts and 25 walks in 63 2/3 innings.
Detmers’ year did end on a down note after he experienced a dip in velocity and was shut down for the rest of the season in early September due to elbow inflammation, though he did not require surgery and is expected to enter Spring Training fully healthy with a chance to shift back to the starting rotation.
Salary arbitration is a process each offseason used to determine salaries for a select group of players for the upcoming season. Players who have between three and six years of service time -- with the exception of Super Two players, who get an extra season of arbitration -- are eligible for arbitration.
Here are the 2026 salary numbers each Angels player settled for:
Outfielder Jo Adell: $5.2 million
Reliever Brock Burke: $2.325 million
Shortstop Zach Neto: $4.15 million
Catcher Logan O'Hoppe: $2.625 million
Starter José Soriano: $2.9 million
Neto, O’Hoppe and Soriano were first-year eligible. Adell is in his second year of eligibility after earning a $2.1 million salary in a 2025 campaign that saw him set career highs in home runs (37), RBIs (98) and OPS (.778) in 152 games.
Burke, in his third year of eligibility, gets about a $1 million raise from his $1.15 million salary last season. The left-hander performed as one of the top relievers in the Angels bullpen, posting a 3.36 ERA in 69 games with 52 strikeouts and 18 walks across 61 2/3 innings.
Detmers, who is in his second year of arbitration eligibility, will earn a raise from his $1.825 million salary for the '25 campaign.
