Reds' Parris loses arbitration case
Pitcher still gets million-dollar raise
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. Steve Parris lost his salary arbitration case against the Reds on Thursday and will get $1.4 million instead of his request for $1,825,000.
The 32-year-old right-hander made $275,000 last season, when he went 11-4 with a 3.50 ERA all career bests in 21 starts and one relief appearance.
After failing to make the team during spring training he was the last pitcher cut Parris was brought up May 3 and became one of the Reds' most effective starters.
