Vance Worley and the Pirates went through with an arbitration hearing after not being able to reach a compromise on the right-hander’s 2015 salary and the ruling was in favor of Worley.
That means he’ll earn $2.45 million rather than the Pirates’ filing of $2 million following a season in which he turned his career around after being let go by the Twins.
Worley tossed 111 innings with a 2.85 ERA and 79/22 K/BB ratio for Pittsburgh and, combined with his previous time in Philadelphia, has a 3.31 ERA in 388 career innings in the National League.
