David Robertson ($1.6M) and Joba Chamberlain ($1.7M) avoided arbitration by agreeing to one-year deals.
(Brett Gardner, Russell Martin and Boone Logan are still set to go to arbitration.)
- Elsewhere, Victor Martinez tore his left ACL during offseason conditioning and will likely miss the entire season. Very bad news for Detroit.
- Carl Crawford had surgery on his left wrist and could miss the start of the season. Is that the sound of Boston fans rejoicing?
