The Baltimore Orioles have won their salary arbitration case against pitcher Keegan Akin
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Baltimore Orioles won their salary arbitration case Saturday against pitcher Keegan Akin, the first victory for teams this year after five decisions in favor of players. Akin was awarded $2,975,000 rather than his $3,375,000 request by John Stout, Jeanne Charles and Samantha Tower, who heard arguments Friday.
A 30-year-old left-hander, Akin was 5-4 with a 3.41 ERA and eight saves in 64 relief appearances last season, striking out 59 and walking 33 in 63 1/3 innings. He had a $1,475,000 salary. Akin has a 16-22 record with a 4.48 ERA and 11 saves in six major league seasons, all with the Orioles. He can become a free agent after this year’s World Series. Players lead 5-1 with up to seven decisions remaining. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal won his case Thursday when he was awarded an arbitration-record $32 million rather than the Detroit Tigers’ $19 million offer. In other decisions, catcher Yainer Diaz received $4.5 million instead of the Houston Astros’ $3 million proposal, right-hander Kyle Bradish was awarded $3.55 million instead of the Orioles’ offer of $2,875,000, right-hander Graham Ashcraft was awarded $1.75 million rather than the Cincinnati Reds’ $1.25 million offer and right-hander Edwin Uceta will be paid $1,525,000 rather than the Tampa Bay Rays’ $1.2 million proposal. Two cases have been argued with decisions withheld until next week: Toronto left-hander Eric Lauer and Atlanta left-hander Dylan Lee . Five players remain scheduled for hearings next week: Kansas City left-hander Kris Bubic , Milwaukee catcher Willson Contreras , Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers , Miami right-hander Calvin Faucher and Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson . ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB
