Associated Press
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Pitcher Oliver Perez won his salary arbitration case against the New York Mets today and will be paid $6.5 million this year rather than the team's offer of $4,725,000.
The left-hander went 15-10 with a 3.56 ERA last year, when he made $2,425,000. The decision was made by arbitrators Steven Wolf, Robert Bailey and Elizabeth Neumeier, who heard the case yesterday in St. Petersburg.
