The Arizona Asterisks have announced their intent to offer arbitration to Dellin Betances. Due to a bizzare set of circumstances, his ICE salary actually goes DOWN from $2M to $1.5M (1.2 WAR). Dellin wasn't very happy about that when told the news, but ownership told him to stick it, shut up, and just play. That went well.
Arizona also offerred arbitration to the recently acquired Ken Giles ( 1.8 ), whose salary subsequently rises from $250K to the same $1.5M Betances is joyfully accepting.
The AZ Front Office directed the equipment manager to relocate Giles' locker to the opposite side of Betances' corner.
