The Texas Rangers continued their streak of avoiding going to arbitration, settling with all four of their arbitration-eligible players today. The deals are as follows:
Mitch Garver — $3,335,000
Willie Calhoun — $1,300,000
Taylor Hearn — $1,050,000
Brett Martin — $1,025,000
As you may have heard a time or two before, the last time the Rangers went to arbitration with a player was with Lee Stevens before the 2000 season. They then shipped Stevens off to Montreal in the middle of spring training in a three team deal that brought David Segui to Texas.
