Hogan Lovells Guides Baltimore Orioles in Successful Salary Arbitration
Global law firm Hogan Lovells successfully represented the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise Baltimore Orioles in a salary arbitration against outfielder Anthony Santander.
A three-person arbitration panel ruled in favor of the Orioles, awarding Santander a 2021 salary of US$2.1 million, as opposed to the US$2.475 million requested by the player. Santander was named an American League Gold Glove finalist in Right Field in 2020.
The Orioles were represented by Hogan Lovells Washington, D.C., associate Jimmy McEntee. Prior to starting his private practice career at Hogan Lovells, McEntee interned in MLB’s Labor Relations Department. He has previously assisted the Los Angeles Dodgers and Minnesota Twins in other salary arbitration cases, and is currently representing an MLB team in a separate salary arbitration matter.
