The Yankees recently announced their arbitration figures, agreeing to terms with all their eligible players, save one. Dellin Betances is still without a contract for the 2017 season. The team filed at $3 million, while Dellin’s side countered with $5 million for his first time through arbitration. The expectation was that they would ultimately meet in the middle, but that never happened. The deadline for agreeing to a new contract passed, and now the two side will head to an arbitration hearing in a few weeks.
It’s difficult to say who is being unreasonable in this situation since we aren’t privy to what goes on at the negotiating table.
