Alex Wood Wins Arbitration Case Against Reds
6 years agoCincinnati Reds starting pitcher Alex Wood won his salary arbitration case and will receive $9.65 million in 2019 instead of the $8.7 million that the Reds offered. Wood came over in a trade from the Dodgers in the offseason and will be guaranteed a rotation spot with a weaker team in a very hitter-friendly park. The southpaw posted a serviceable 3.68 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 in 33 outings (27 starts) in his final season in LA. He certainly won't be as good as he was in 2017 (16-3, 2.72 ERA), but he can be useful depth in deep mixed leagues with a guaranteed rotation spot.
