On the salary report screen, does it show them as arbitration eligible even though it is only their 2nd/3rd seasons?

Why would someone have a 17.5 million option on a third year player? They shouldn't even be in arbitration yet.

I made the offer to sign Gonzalez when he became a minor league free agent last year. $8.75 M Year One, $17.5 M team option Year Two.
