Buzz: O’Perez Won Arbitration Hearing
Oliver Perez, who was represented by Scott Boras – and the Mets, who were represented by David Cohen – had their arbitration hearing yesterday, in which Perez was seeking $6.5 million, while the Mets have offered $4.725 million.
According to Jon Heyman at SI.com, Perez won his arbitration hearing and will earn $6.5 million in 2008 - after which he is eligible to be a free agent.
…great, so the player should be happy…now, can we move on…
Multiple reports from the last week suggested that Boras has every intention of getting Perez to free agency, regardless of any previous attempts by the Mets to sign him long-term.
