B.J. Upton Loses Salary Arbitration

Professional baseball player B.J. Upton was defeated by the Tampa Bay Rays in a recent salary arbitration hearing. Upton, whose numbers from last season were actually less impressive than those from the year before, requested $3.3 million per year but will receive only $3 million. In any case, the raise is definitely a considerable increase over his previous salary of $435,000. Upton made his debut for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2004, when they were still called the Devil Rays. In 2009, he became the first Ray ever to hit for the cycle, meaning that he hit a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in a single game.
