Orioles Avoid Arbitration With Trey Mancini
4 years agoThe Baltimore Orioles agreed to a one-year deal with outfielder Trey Mancini on Friday to avoid salary arbitration. Outfielder Anthony Santander hasn't come to terms, with the Orioles offering $2.1 million and Santander asking for $2.475 million. Mancini missed all of 2020 while recovering from Stage 3 colon cancer. He was voted team MVP and hit .291 with 35 home runs and 97 RBI in 2019. The 28-year-old has been working out and expects to play a full season in 2021. He averaged 28 home runs in his three full seasons before being sidelined last year. Santander was limited to 37 games last year because of injuries, and he hit 11 home runs and 13 doubles in just 153 at-bats while driving in 32. He should see a significant raise after hitting .261 with 20 homers and 59 RBI in 93 games during his 2019 breakout.
