Not only did the Philadelphia Phillies narrowly avoid an arbitration hearing with reliever Hector Neris for 2020, but they assured they won’t find themselves in a hearing with Neris in 2021 either.

According to The Associated Press, the Phillies and Neris agreed to a one-year deal that will pay the veteran $4.6 million in 2020. That negates a previously scheduled arbitration hearing for Friday, which would have decided if Neris made the $5.2 million that he filed at or the $4.
