Arby's

A Boy Named Seo Jan 11 2019 01:06 PM

deGrom and Syndergaard both avoid arbitration and agree to new salaries for 2019. deGrom gets a $10M raise and will make $17M, and Thor gets a bump to $6M.

Good for them. I'm sure Brodie will be thrilled when they let him know what happened, he being locked in a closet during this process.

I still am amused at the doom-and-gloom contingent who said that the team had to avoid arbitration or else DeGrom would be unhappy and not sign a long-term contract. This is the obvious way to prevent it: offer him a massive raise. He goes away happy and has a positive attitude toward the way the team treated him.

“I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's” is one of my fav Simpsons lines.



Also, Wheeler avoids arb today and signs for just shy of $6M.

Conforto signed, too. Later

I'd like very much to see a projected salary with the arbitration numbers finalized, Wright's agreement worked in, and some different figures based on if/when Cespedes comes back.

Matz and Wheeler signed, too! I like Arby's. But the the menu has gotten really big and strange in recent years. I still just get a basic roast beef. They do have a warm cinnamon crisp thing in the fall that is awesome!

One of my childhood best friends owns a couple of local Arby's so I like going there :) Their roast beef sammies are good, though I think they have shrunk. And I was going to say earlier that I like their fish sammies. My mom complains every single time we go there because her chicken sandwich basically disintegrates so I think I finally have her convinced to get something else. Carry on with Mets stuff!

It's at least somewhat disappointing to think these arbitration salaries undermine the chance at multi-year extensions being established before free agency. And it's at least somewhat surprising that Wheeler earns a salary 99.58% of what Syndergaard is getting. But service time factors a lot in arbitration-period salaries, and Wheeler's two years in DL Land factor into his service time.
