It has to do with how many "option" years a guy has, but I don't know how it relates to arbitration. It could be that once youre arb eligible you are out of options. But when you're out of options, you have to be placed on waivers if you're being demoted. Gray is definitely too good to be placed on waivers because a lot of teams would snatch him up for nothing. But I think it's something like you have 3 years on the active roster of options. And it might be one of those things where it's 3 years to the date, so if he got called up in like September 22 2015 he can still be optioned until September 21. But I'm not 100% on that.

Rereading this post I can see I am explaining things you probably already know which is condescending of me. Sorry.
