The Orioles beat Brad Bergesen in arbitration, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com tweets. The Paragon Sports International client will earn $800K in 2012, instead of $1.2MM. The Orioles have confirmed the arbitrators' decision.
The 26-year-old Bergesen was arbitration eligible for the first time as a super two player this offseason and will remain under team control through 2015. As MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker shows, Adam Jones is now the Orioles’ lone unsigned arbitration eligible player. His hearing is scheduled for February 17th. Teams are now 3-2 against MLB players in hearings this offseason. Emilio Bonifacio and Anibal Sanchez of the Marlins are the only players to win arbitration hearings so far in 2012.
The Orioles finally beat someone!
Cmon man thats just mean
Some how I find this surprising…
The Orioles actually have an impressive record in arbitration if I remember correctly
It was a poorly constructed joke on how the Orioles are awful
The only way this team can win anything is by beating thier own players.
The last time the O’s lost an arbitration hearing was 1995 to Ben McDonald
Orioles beat themselves! More News @ 11!
Helps to be owned by a lawyer
Score another one for Smouse!
