GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds left-hander Alex Wood won his arbitration case over the club on Wednesday. Wood will earn $9.65 million on his one-year contract this season. Cincinnati had offered $8.7 million.
Wood, who was acquired from the Dodgers on Dec. 21 in a seven-player trade, was the only case the Reds had to go to arbitration this winter. The two sides presented their case on Tuesday in Tampa, Fla.
"It was fine. You hear horror stories about some of the things that go on," Wood said Wednesday morning before he learned the case outcome.
