Red Sox, David Ortiz Settle At Midpoint - 美國職棒

Hours before today's arbitration hearing, the Red Sox and designated hitter
David Ortiz settled at the midpoint for $14.575MM, tweets ESPN's Buster
Olney. Had they reached a hearing, a panel of three arbitrators would have
chosen between Boston's $12.65MM submission and Ortiz's $16.5MM salary figure
for 2012. Ortiz is represented by Fern Cuza of SFX.

Potentially inhibited by the cost of a draft pick, Ortiz accepted an
arbitration offer from the Red Sox in December, and it took the looming
threat of a hearing to force a settlement. I favored the Red Sox in a
potential hearing, but they preferred not to risk a situation many regard as
a crapshoot. As a bonus, they were able to avoid Ortiz having a front-row
seat for their attempt to prove he's worth less than the midpoint.

Six potential arbitration hearings remain, as our tracker shows: Alexi
Casilla (Twins), Casey Janssen (Blue Jays), Adam Jones (Orioles), Garrett
Jones(Pirates), Casey McGehee(Pirates), and Jose Veras (Brewers).
