Six Pirates - starting pitchers Zach Duke and Paul Maholm, first baseman Adam LaRoche, outfielder Nate McLouth and relief pitchers Tyler Yates and John Grabow - have filed for salary arbitration.
The teams and players will formally exchange salary numbers Tuesday.
None of the five Pirates eligible for arbitration made it to a hearing last as all were signed to contracts prior to their scheduled hearings.
Hearings this year will be held between Feb. 1-21 if the team and players can't come to an agreement.
LaRoche made $5 million last season and Grabow made $1.135 million. Both are in their final years of arbitration.
Yates ($800,000 last season) is in his second year of arbitration while McLouth ($425,500), Maholm ($424,500) and Duke ($400,000) are each in their first year.
