Not that I recall.
The funniest story with salary arbitration came with the Thrashers and Clarke MacArthur.
The Thrashers went into the arbitration meeting and just asked the arbitrator to immediately award the MacArthur's ask. The arbitrator did so and because MacArthur's ask was above the walkaway threshold the Thrashers immediately walked away.
Would be funny if Treliving goes into the hearing on Monday and says that he has changed his mind and thinks Hathaway is now worth over $4.22 million. Of course the arbitrator might still just go on auto pilot and award Hathaway $2.57 mil in that case.
