Chacon Avoids Arbitration Hearing

The AP has reported that pitcher Shawn Chacon and Yankees have agreed to a one year, $3.6 million contract, thereby avoiding arbitration. Probably just as well for the Yankees since they didn't have much to argue against. Chacon was horrid with the Rockies, but went 7-3 with a 2.85 ERA in 14 games (12 starts) after being acquired by the Bombers.

Besides the base salary, there are several performance bonuse for reaching 180 innings pitched, and for each segment of 10 after that.
