think this deserves its own thread... so yaa
MLB avoids arbitration with everybody: With Clayton Richard agreeing to a one-year, $5.24 million deal with the San Diego Padres on Saturday, a little history has been made in Major League Baseball. For the first time since the arbitration process was instituted just prior to the 1974 season, there will be no cases heard by an arbitrator.
In fact, according to Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, there had never been a season with fewer than three cases reaching a hearing. And that’s throwing out the 1976 and 1977 seasons, because arbitration cases in those years were suspended.
Astros released RHP Mark Hamburger.
