SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. got disappointing news on his 26th birthday, losing to the Miami Marlins in the first salary arbitration decision of the year.
The outfielder will be paid $2,625,000 rather than his $2.9 million request, Margaret Brogan, Jeanne Vonhof and Scott Buchheit ruled Thursday.
He went 0 for 8 with four strikeout as the Marlins were swept by Philadelphia in their NL Wild Card Series.
Chisholm had a $749,500 salary last year and was eligible for arbitration for the first time.
