Despite the fact that Dellin Betances is set to miss nearly all of spring training with the Yankees because of his participation in the World Baseball Classic, the reliever won’t be reporting to camp until after his arbitration case is settled.
Sweeny Murti of WFAN says that Betances will continue working out privately until at least Saturday, which is the day after he and the team will have their respective sides heard on the subject of Betances’ 2017 salary in St. Petersburg. A three-person panel will decide whether Betances should be awarded the $5 million he requested, or if the Yankees’ $3 million figure is more reasonable.
