Alfonso Soriano lost his arbitration case with the Washington Nationals and will be paid $10 million in 2006. Soriano had asked for $12 million. Nevertheless, Soriano still pocketed the largest arbitration award ever, smashing the record held by Andruw "The Flying Dutchman" Jones of $8.2 million in 2001.
The Nationals want Soriano to move to the outfield, but incumbent Jose Vidro says he's healthy, so there may be more moves for the Nationals. Especially if Sammy Sosa signs with Washington.
