Per ESPN's Adam Rubin, Dillon Gee, Ruben Tejada, and Bobby Parnell have all settled their arbitration cases. Since Parnell missed the entire year due to injury, he will not take a raise on his current $3.7 million salary. Gee will see a raise from his 2014 salary of $3.625m to his new 2015 salary of $5.3m. Tejada will also receive a raise from $1.1m to $1.88m for 2015
Daniel Murphy has also avoided arbitration by agreeing to a 1 yr deal for $8m.
I think we need to send Sandy Alderson to a course on negotiation. In both of these cases the Mets "settled" for higher figures than all reputable sources estimated for these players to receive in arbitration.
ReplyDeletemeh....projections missed on Gee by 200k and on Tejada by 180k.
ReplyDeleteHardly worth negotiating for.....
The big question will be how much the remaining guys get.
Duda coming off a 30 HR season, Mejia off a near 30 SV season, and Murphy off a All-Star selection season.
