Phillies Sign Brown and Revere to One-Year Deals
By Jim Adair

Domonic Brown and Ben Revere, underachievers both in their own ways (namely defensively), have avoided arbitration, with the Phillies signing each of them to one-year deals that amount to gigantic raises. According to Austin Laymance at MLB.com:
Revere will earn $4.1 million after making a base salary of $1.95 million in 2014. Brown, eligible for arbitration for the first time in his career, will earn $2.5 million after receiving $550,000 last year.
And thus, the arguments that they both just became overpaid can be heard on WIP and The Fanatic from now until this time next year.
