Hypothetical. John Mozeliak sits down at a dinner table with St. Louis Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal, and hands him the menu. Listed on it are contract options. 1 year, 2 years or 3 years. Which one do you want, kid? You’re the one with the thunderous right arm that has racked up 96 saves in the last 2+ seasons. This isn’t how arbitration dealings go down. The Cardinals haven’t gone to arbitration since 1999 with Darren Oliver. Mo has kept a clean docket, and while there have been some close calls, he doesn’t let the case for one of his players to be heard in a hearing.
