this is what i thought. i have to deal with this with clients all the time. but it cuts both ways. mize has to pay to prepare, too. i don't know how agency contracts work, so i wonder if whatever he pays his agents, standard, includes the agency handling an arb hearing. likewise, i don't know if the tigers would handle this in-house or if there is what amounts to 'outside counsel' that would come in, with additional cost
