Around Baseball
Transactions
- The Rockies won their arbitration case against catcher Wilin Rosario. He will earn a salary of $2.8 million in 2015 instead of the $3.3 million he was seeking.
- The Royals avoided arbitration with first baseman Eric Hosmer yesterday, signing him to a two-year, $13.9 million contract.
Other Notes
- After having no arbitration hearings in 2013, there have been eleven arbitration hearings this year, with three more still scheduled. Ken Rosenthal notes that fourteen cases would be the highest total since the 1994-95 strike if all three cases go to hearings. However, JP Morosi of Just a Bit Outside believes that this is not something to worry about (for now).
- Pitchers and catchers report for thirteen more teams today. The start of Brewers camp is just one day away now, as their pitchers and catchers report tomorrow.
