My guess is that they split this one down the middle. Even though he has a high era, they have to bear mind that he plays in the AL East. Only won two games will keep him from getting the total raise.

They can’t split. The panel either sides with the player or they side with the team. My guess is that they’ll side with the player (1.2MM.) Bergesen eats innings, albeit not very well, but if you throw over 150 innings you should make $1.2M in today’s day and age, regardless of service time. Had the O’s made a more aggressive offer (like $1M instead of 800K), I could see them siding with the team.

Thanks for the clarification.

Does anyone know what organization hears the cases for MLB?

Bergeson is lucky to even have a job. The O’s considered non-tendering him after last year , that’s why they are fighting so hard to keep him at 800,000.
He was truly horrible last year except for his complete game against the Rays . He got knocked around as a starter and a reliever . Got demoted to the minor leagues after being a big part of the teams collapse . Let the team and it’s fans down big time .
So naturally , I expect him to win his 1.2 Million case.
Sad 🙁
