The Boston Red Sox failed to reach an agreement with two of their arbitration-eligible players prior to last month’s deadline. They have already rectified one of those disputes by signing Andrew Benintendi to a two-year deal. It’s time to do the same for Eduardo Rodriguez.
Rodriguez’s arbitration hearing is scheduled for this Wednesday in Arizona. It’s unclear if the team has any intention of exploring multi-year offers to buy out his remaining arbitration years but there are a number of reasons to consider it if Rodriguez is open to that option.
Rodriguez says he’s going to Arizona for a Wednesday arbitration hearing.
