TAMPA, Fla. -- Florida left-hander Mark Redman became the first player to win in salary arbitration this year. Redman was given a raise from $300,000 to $2.15 million on Tuesday instead of the $1.8 million the Marlins had argued for. Arbitrators Matthew Finkin, Jack Clarke and I.B. Helburn made the decision, a day after hearing the case in St. Petersburg. Redman, 29, went 8-15 with a 4.21 ERA in 30 starts for Detroit last season, pitching a team-high 203 innings. He was dealt by the Tigers, along with minor league right-hander Jerrod Fuell, on Jan. 11 for right-hander Gary Knotts and minor league left-handers Nate Robertson and Rob Henkel. On Saturday, Florida defeated right-hander Vladimir Nunez, who will get a raise from $360,000 to $1.4 million instead of the $1.75 million he asked for. That decision was made by Clarke, Helburn and Kenneth Perea. Owners are 2-1 in salary arbitration this year, with Cincinnati defeating left-hander Bruce Chen, who gets $700,000 instead of $830,000. Thirteen players remain in arbitration, with hearings scheduled through Feb. 20. Montreal's Orlando Hernandez ($4.1 million) and Philadelphia's Terry Adams ($2.9 million) avoided hearings by agreeing to one-year contracts Monday. |
