Alejandro De Aza argued he deserved a salary of $2.7 million for the 2013 season, while the Chicago White Sox offered $1.9 million. De Aza's lawyer argued that he consistently performed at a high level, contributed significantly to the White Sox's success in 2012, and should be paid more than comparable players like Drew Stubbs who earned $2.825 million for 2013. The lawyer concluded De Aza earned $2.7 million based on his statistics, defense, durability, and value to the White Sox.
