About
The Villanova Baseball Filing Day Competition is a simulated exercise intended to mimic negotiations between MLB Players Association (MLBPA) player agents and MLB club executives before the salary arbitration Exchange Date between the MLB Labor Relations Department and the MLBPA as governed by Major League Baseball's Basic Agreement. Participants will be able to build oral advocacy and negotiation skills while handling baseball statistics and player valuation information in order to come to resolution with opposing counsel. Winners will be selected by judges from the baseball industry including player agents, team officials, and attorneys working in the space.
