Salary arbitration season is upon us, with the exchange date coming next Thursday, January 8. Among the four Dodgers eligible for arbitration this offseason, Brusdar Graterol has the easiest salary to predict.
Last offseason, Tony Gonsolin ($5.4 million) and Dustin May ($2.135 million) each avoided arbitration with one-year deals for 2025 that matched their 2024 salaries after not pitching the previous year while recovering from elbow surgeries. Ditto for Walker Buehler, who missed the 2023 season while recovering from his second Tommy John surgery and re-signed in 2024 for $8.025 million, matching his previous salary.
