Three Yankees File

Sat., Jan. 16, 1999

Just 62 major league baseball players, the second-lowest total in 20 years, filed for salary arbitration.

New York Yankees stars Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera were the biggest names to file. Barring settlements, the 62 players will exchange figures with their teams Tuesday.

Three Los Angeles Dodgers players settled before the deadline, with pitcher Carlos Perez getting a $15.5 million, three-year contract. Ismael Valdes ($4,275,000) and outfielder Todd Hollandsworth ($850,000) got one-year deals.

Utility infielder David Bell agreed with the Seattle Mariners on a two-year deal worth $1,775,000.

The Baltimore Orioles signed free-agent reliever Heathcliff Slocumb, a former Mariner, to a one-year contract for $1.1 million.
