Bubic wins in arbitration vs. Royals and Lauer loses to Blue Jays, leaving players ahead 8-3
Kris Bubic received $6.15 million after winning arbitration against the Royals; Eric Lauer will earn $4.4 million following his loss to the Blue Jays, with players leading 8-3 overall.
- On Wednesday, Kris Bubic won his salary arbitration case against the Kansas City Royals, while Eric Lauer lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, leaving players ahead 8-3 with two cases remaining.
- Bubic's Feb. 3 hearing was before Scott Buchheit, Howard Edelman and John Woods and the decision was sealed until resolved; a panel of Margaret Brogan, Brian Keller and Janice Johnston awarded $6.15 million over the Royals' $5.15 million offer Tuesday.
- His recent season path included spending much of 2024 with Houston's Triple-A Sugar Land and signing with the Kia Tigers in August, after stopping pitching following July 26 due to a rotator cuff injury.
- Lauer's recent 9-2 season included a salary award of $4.4 million instead of his $5.75 million request, after his hearing last week.
- Upcoming hearings include Milwaukee catcher Willson Contreras at $9.9 million versus $8.55 million and Miami right-hander Calvin Faucher at $2.05 million versus $1.8 million.
