According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, the Mariners avoided arbitration
with pitcher Felix Hernandez by signing him for $3.8M for '09.
Chien-Ming Wang received $4MM in his first arb year, though he is a
Super Two player so he goes to arbitration four times rather than three.
Cole Hamels, also a Super Two, will receive $4.35MM
for his first arb year in his newly-signed deal.
When the 2011 season comes to a close and Hernandez can
file for free agency, he'll be just 25 years old.
