Arb over this? Really?

If they are arbitrators from NY could they be biased in case the Yankees get him in a trade?
Chris Bosh
If they are biased, they should not be arbitrators at all. Defeats the purpose of the entire profession…

Well put.

$250,000 is a comfortable house, new car, and tuition to some of us that aren’t professional athletes.

It’s this kind of analysis that keeps me coming back to MLBTR.
Also whether it’s anywhere from 2 to 0.5 or less, we’re talking money in terms of houses. THAT’s why they’re going to arbitration.

Gotta think of this in a big business sense everyone. For us, they’re going to arbitration over multiple yearly salaries. But they’re operating in a different world than us. For them, it’s borderline nothing on the organization’s end. They could probably hire a few scouts or stadium workers with that 250k, but I seriously doubt they will if they win the case. You can’t even sign more than one of the more popular international teenagers for that amount. In the baseball world it’s just a really insignificant amount of money to go through the trouble of slandering one of your players in front of the arbitration committee over.
