Dodgers News: Dodgers have Nine Arbitration Eligible Players This Offseason
The Dodgers head into the offseason with nine players eligible for arbitration for the 2026 season
LOS ANGELES, CA—The Los Angeles Dodgers have nine arbitration-eligible players this offseason and will have until January 8th to exchange arbitration figures; however, both sides can agree to a new contract during this period, voiding the arbitration process.
Here is the list and the projected figures and service time, courtesy of MLB Trade Rumors:
- Brusdar Graterol (5.167): $2.8MM
- Tony Gonsolin (5.152): $5.4MM
- Evan Phillips (5.136): $6.1MM
- Alex Vesia (5.078): $4.1MM (Dodgers hold a $3.65MM club option with a $50K buyout)
- Anthony Banda (4.135): $1.7MM
- Brock Stewart (4.093): $1.4MM
- Ben Rortvedt (3.135): $1.3MM
- Michael Grove (3.031): $800K
- Alex Call (2.161): $1.5MM
While the deadline to offer these players arbitration numbers is approaching, if either side is unable to agree to a new contract, they would have an arbitration hearing the following month before the start of spring training, with a yet-to-be-determined date.
The Dodgers did not have an arbitration hearing last season, but did have one after not agreeing to a new contract with left-hander Alex Vesia. Both sides were able to iron out a deal before the start of spring training.
The most recent Dodgers players to have an arbitration hearing were in the 2020 season, when the team couldn’t agree on terms with right-hander Pedro Baez and left-handed hitting outfielder Joc Pederson.
