Overall, the Pirates came very close to MLB Trade Rumors’ informed arbitration estimates. MLBTR estimated $8.4 million for Dickerson, while Kela was projected to get $3.2 million. This in addition to Michael Feliz — MLBTR estimated $900,000 for him, and the Pirates avoided arbitration with the reliever for $850,000.
