NEW YORK - First baseman Ji-Man Choi and the Tampa Bay Rays argued their salary arbitration case Thursday. The 29-year-old asked for a raise to $2.45 million, and the Rays argued for $1.85 million. A decision is expected Friday from Margaret Brogan, Gary Kendellen and Brian Keller, who heard the case over Zoom. Choi had a base salary of $850,000 last year and earned $427,148 in prorated pay, including performance bonuses. Rays reliever Ryan Yarbrough remains scheduled for a hearing later this month.
