Kipper : #Pirates Avoid Arbitration with Jordy Mercer for 1 Yr/ $2.075 Million

By Kipper @pghsportsforum
The Pirates and Short Stop Jordy Mercer agreed on a 1 year contract today for $2.075. Considering the Pirates lack of options for the 2016 season, this was pretty inevitable.
The team also avoided arbitration with P Jeff Locke. 1 year and $3M was reportedly the deal. Great news on both!!
