The way that an arb in 2021 can affect a player's arb in 2022, and I think what beesore was getting at, is that it will affect what salary he can be resigned at. Say I have a player in arb1 in 2021 and his card comes in at 4,000,000. Now I do his contract for 2022 when he is arb2. One of my options is to resign him for 1 year at his current salary or the minimum for arb2 (3,000,000) whichever is higher. In this case it would be for 4,000,000. Contrast that with him coming in at 2,000,000 for 2021. In that case resigning him for 1 year will be for 3,000,000, the arb2 minimum.
