The Cardinals avoided arbitration with Jason Motte, agreeing to a one-year deal, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets. Motte, an ACES client, will earn a base salary of $1.95MM in 2012 and could earn $75K more in incentives.
As MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker shows, that's the midpoint between the Cardinals' $1.5MM submission and Motte's request of $2.4MM. The Cardinals have now signed all of their arbitration eligible players.
Motte? Or did you mean Rzepcynski?
Wild Thing from Major League?
Well….
hahahahaha well played
I’d take Motte at 2mil over Bailey at 4mil…
Somewhere TLR is mumbling, “$1.95 million for a guy who is not a closer?!?”
