JUPITER, Fla. — Lefty reliever Genesis Cabrera, who threw a bullpen for coaches Thursday morning, will face members of the front office Friday in what can become an adversarial arbitration hearing.
Cabrera planned to travel Thursday night to the Tampa, Florida, area to make his argument in front of an arbiter and hear the Cardinals argue against his requested salary.
The 26-year-old lefty smiled asked if he was ready for the hearing and added, "It's the way it goes. And it will be over."
All-Star closer Ryan Helsley was the only other Cardinal to go through the arbitration process this season, and he had his hearing Wednesday.
