Injuries, reserve players, uncertain futures, no matter the case, the New York Mets were handing out raises like candy on Friday.
Beating out the Friday deadline to avoid arbitration, New York came to terms with nine of the ten players who were eligible.
While Major League Baseball decides if a suspension is in order for all-star closer Jeurys Familia, the New York Mets have decided to reward him with a healthy raise.
The closer who notched 51 saves last season will be receiving a $4.1 million dollar raise next season, as the Mets settled with Familia on $7.
