Alex Chiasson's arbitration hearing was relatively routine. The two sides submitted bids that were relatively far apart, with the expectation the the number would come down right int he middle of the two. The hearing took place on Thursday, July 23, with the result due 48 hours later. This gave the arbitrator until around 1:30 PM Eastern Standard Time to release a decision.
1:30 came and went without much issue. After all, sometimes things are a little late getting out. Even in the age of Twitter, sometimes media finds something out and doesn't report it right away. However, these worries that the media had forgotten us were quickly put to rest by our old friend Doni B.
