So, as long as IÂ don't bring him up, IÂ can avoid arbitration but IÂ cannot send him back down without passing waivers, right?
Arbitration works exactly the same as it does with anyone else. Â When he hits 3 years of ML service, not contract, he's arb-eligible.
And yeah, he's fine in your system until then. Â And you can't take him off the 40 without him passing through waivers, too. Â There's some minor-league free agent thing that comes up eventually, I think, but you'll have him up by the time that matters.
