‘Round the Bases…

by Anthony Amobi

Miguel Cabrera getting a huge raise: Miguel Cabrera won his arbitration case and will make $7.4 million in 2007. Cabrera was offered $6.7 million by the Marlins in his first year of arbitration.

Tom Glavine: Tom Glavine made it sound like 2007 would be his final year in an interview on Friday.

“If I don’t win 300 games this year for some reason, then I will play next year,” Glavine said. “Unless my arm blows out and that’s the end of it. Barring something crazy, assuming I have a good year and I win 300 games, I’m not going to sit here and say that I won’t play. But it would take an awful lot for me to play next year, and I don’t mean monetarily. I just mean it would really have to be some unfinished business or some tremendous burning desire for me to go out there and play another year at this point.”

Right now, Glavine is 10 wins away from 300.

Willy Mo Pena: Outfielder Willy Mo Pena and the Red Sox agreed to a one-year contract worth $1,875,000, thus avoiding an arbitration hearing.

According to the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year deal with Erik Bedard just this morning.

From the Sun: Bedard was asking for $4 million, while the Orioles were offering $2.7 million. The Orioles exceeded the midpoint to get the deal done, according to one club source, and will pay the pitcher approximately $3.4 million. “I am happy,” Bedard said. “The biggest part is not to go to a court hearing and hear you [stink]. I am just glad it’s over with.”

Woohoo. This is good news for the Orioles and even moreso for Bedard. He can finally focus on Opening Day and the task at hand – the 2007 baseball season.

If he has a standout 2007, look for a contract extension…
