-- January 25th: NEW YORK -- First baseman Lucas Duda and suspended reliever Jenrry Mejia have avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to one-year contracts with the New York Mets.
Duda's contract is worth $6,725,000, up from $4.2 million last year, when he hit .244 with 27 homers and 73 RBIs. The agreement was $75,000 above the midpoint between the $7.4 million he had asked for in arbitration and the $5.9 million the Mets had offered.
Mejia settled at $2.47 million, which is a cut from his $2,595,000 salary in 2015. He had asked for $2,595,000 and had been offered $2,345,000.
Mejia was suspended for 80 games on April 11 following a positive test for Stanozolol, then he was banned for an additional 162 games on July 28 after a positive test for Stanozolol and Boldenone. That discipline reduced his earnings to $496,311. --
Shit like that pisses me off. He threw away FOUR AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS!!!!
