The Mets and Bobby Parnell have avoided arbitration, agreeing to a one year deal worth $1.7 million. Parnell recently filed for arbitration, but the two sides came to an agreement today. Parnell posted a 2.49 ERA in 74 appearances for New York in 2012, and has two more years of arbitration eligibility. After the 2015 season, he can become a free agent.
This is good news. Parnell has been solid for the most part while pitching in relief, and $1.7 million isn't going to break the bank. I am really looking forward to seeing Parnell develop this season, but yet again it seems like we are saying that every off-season, and it never happens. His numbers look great, but there is something about him that can't seem to handle big situations, and he is going to need to figure it out if he wants to have a more important role on this team.
