Vladimir Guerrero won his arbitration case with the Jays. The arbitrator decided on Vlad’s filing of $19.9 million over the team’s 18.05.
I don’t know how the arbitrators make their decisions. I did hear that, at one time, they were people who knew nothing about baseball. But I’d rather the player win than the team.
I wish the team would do a long term contract with him
Jose Altuve signed a 5-year extension worth $120 million with the Astros. He’s getting a $15 signing bonus, three seasons at $30 million, and then $10 million for each of 2029 and 2030.
I figured Altuve to be the type to age poorly, but who knows? He’ll be 40 in the last year of his contract.
