Winning Uggla

The Florida Marlins payroll is going to be a bit bigger than hoped as Dan Uggla wins his arbitration hearing.

Independent arbitrators sided with the All-Star second baseman, awarding him the $5.35 million contract he requested. The Marlins offered to pay Uggla $4.4 million this season.

The Marlins part with a bit more of their revenue sharing money, but in return they get one of the best offensive middle infields in the league.
