Diamondbacks, Roberts Avoid Arbitration

[PDXChris]

As MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker shows, Roberts had filed for $2.275MM and the Diamondbacks had offered $1.65MM for a midpoint just shy of $2MM. Craig Breslow is Arizona's lone unsigned arbitration eligible player now that the Diamondbacks have agreed to terms with Roberts and Miguel Montero.

Considering he was so broke just a few season ago, he was camping in the Reno locker room, this is nice to see

Great to get that out of the way

Unlike Miggy, I am okay with Roberts going year-to-year. He needs to string a few seasons like last year together before I'd commit long-term. He just isn't the prototypical 3B that you sign to multi-year deals.

This is also his first year of being arbitration eligible, so there is no reason to sign him for anything else other than to one year.
