Back in February, Tyler Norton wrote that the Yankees have a PR problem named Randy Levine. This commentary came on the heels of Randy Levine gloating about winning a seemingly normal arbitration battle against Dellin Betances.
Dellin Betances, who has been one of the best relief pitchers in all of baseball since his breakout 2014 season, went to arbitration asking for a $5 million salary. Considering that they just handed Aroldis Chapman $17.2 million, he was not asking for the moon. The Yankees countered at $3 million and won the arbitration battle.
