According to Mike DiGiovanna of the L.A. Times, Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez lost his arbitration case. He’ll make $10MM rather than the $12.5MM he wanted.
K-Rod might be looking for something like $50MM over four years when he reaches free agency after the season, which would be a record amount for a reliever. Angels owner Arte Moreno won’t close the door on him, and notes that the Angels have tried a couple of times to sign their closer.
