NEW YORK, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- A deal between the Baltimore Orioles and pitcher Darren O'Day means for the first time since 1974 there will be no MLB arbitration hearings.
A total of 133 players filed arbitration requests this year with Major League Baseball but by Monday all had reached agreements with their teams. It is the first time since the arbitration program began in 1974 that arbitrators will hear no cases.
