Twins Avoid Arbitration With Alexi Casilla
The Twins avoided arbitration with infielder Alexi Casilla, agreeing to a one-year, $1.3825MM contract, tweets director of baseball communications Mike Herman. The Proformance client settled $25K below the midpoint, avoiding an arbitration hearing. Casilla received a $517,500 raise his second time through arbitration. MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith looked at some possible comparables last week.
As MLBTR's arbitration tracker shows, the Twins are now finished with their arbitration eligible players. They committed a total of $8.432MM to Casilla, Francisco Liriano, and Glen Perkins for 2012.
Two arbitration eligible players remain unsigned overall: Garrett Jones and Casey McGehee of the Pirates.
