The day for the Texas Rangers and their two arbitration-eligible players to exchange 2019 salaries arrives Friday, and general manager Jon Daniels will once again put his perfect streak on the line.
Never in Daniels’ long stint as Rangers GM has a player gone to a trial to determine his salary for the season. Daniels, naturally, is hopeful to keep that streak intact and avoid a hearing before a three-person arbitration panel to decide how much outfielders Delino DeShields and Nomar Mazara will make this season.
Daniels would hit 14 straight years if the Rangers are able to avoid arbitration.
