The Yanks locked up the rest of their pre-arbitration players recently, agreeing to one year deals with Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Jose Veras, Phil Coke, Edwar Ramirez and Brett Gardner. Joba will make $433,000 this year, and Hughes will pull down $407,605 ($213,218 in the minors). The Yanks use a sliding scale based on service time to determine these salaries, so it’s not like there’s some super secret underlying reason why Joba will be making $25,000 more than Hughes. About a week and a half ago they locked up ten other pre-arb players, so now everyone on the 40-man roster is under contract. (h/t My Baseball Bias)
