Dellin Betances, the Yankees preeminent setup man in baseball, has been a bargain thus far through his professional career. He’s been one of the top relievers in the game for the past three years and has earned a total of just $3,035,256 through his first five seasons in the league, per Spotrac. But, what happened when he asked for a salary raise to $5,000,000?; a series of unfortunate events?
The Yankees took Betances to arbitration in hopes of winning the settlement at $3,000,000. Well, they took home the victory, as Betances lost the hearing and will now earn $3,000,000 next season.
