Addison Russell Signs For $3.4 Million
6 years agoChicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.4 million deal. He can make $600,000 in bonuses if he's on the roster for 150 days this year. Russell will open the year finishing out his suspension for domestic violence, and nobody is really counting on him to make a big impact for the Cubbies in 2019. He hit just .250/.317/.340 with five home runs and 38 RBI in 130 games in Chicago last season and should be avoided in all mixed leagues in 2019.
