Oakland Athletics Arbitration Estimates

Jesse Chavez

If you don’t think Chavez proved his worth last year when he stepped into the starter role than you’re not allowed to comment on this article. Chavez is expected to make $2.55 million and will be under team control for two more seasons. This is an incredibly reasonable price to pay a man who can start a game, pitch in long relief or do a single inning. I don’t expect to see Chavez on the trade wire any time soon.
