Cy Young Award winner Jack McDowell lost his arbitration case Sunday, but the $5.3 million he will get is a record for a salary awarded by an arbitrator.
McDowell, who won in arbitration at $4 million last winter, had asked the Chicago White Sox for $6.5 million, which would have been the highest one-year contract in baseball history.
The salary topped the $5 million awarded outfielder Ruben Sierra when he won his case against Texas two years ago.
