President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman noted the Dodgers are <a href=\"https:\/\/dodgerblue.com\/andrew-friedman-dodgers-interested-in-re-signing-evan-phillips\/2025\/11\/22\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interested in re-signing Phillips,<\/a> to a presumably lesser contract.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tony Gonsolin was designated for assignment and Michael Grove got outrighted off the Dodgers\u2019 40-man roster before both players elected free agency. L.A. also exercised their 2026 club option on Alex Vesia, who would have been eligible for salary arbitration.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers now have to work out deals with Brusdar Graterol, Anthony Banda, Brock Stewart and Alex Call after tendering contracts for next season. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlbtraderumors.com\/2025\/10\/projected-arbitration-salaries-for-2026.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MLB Trade Rumors<\/a>, Dodgers arbitration projections are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Brusdar Graterol (5.167): $2.8MM<br \/>Anthony Banda (4.135): $1.7MM<br \/>Brock Stewart (4.093): $1.4MM<br \/>Alex Call (2.161): $1.5MM<\/p>\n<p>The aforementioned players have three or more years of Major League service time but less than six years, which makes them eligible for salary arbitration.<\/p>\n<p>Graterol is projected to earn the same salary as this year, while Banda ($1 million), Stewart ($880,000) and Call ($769,100) are presumed to receive raises.<\/p>\n<p>Graterol is entering his final season of arbitration, while Banda and Stewart are going through the process for the second time. Call is arbitration-eligible for the first time in his career as a Super 2 player.<\/p>\n<p>Dodgers arbitration history<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers will continue to discuss a new contract with their salary arbitration-eligible players through the Jan. 8, 2026, deadline.<\/p>\n<p>If necessary, arbitration hearings will be held from late January through early February. After listening to arguments from both parties, a three-person panel selects the figure of either the player or team, but not one in between, as the salary for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>Teams can continue negotiating contract terms beyond the deadline, but Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman historically has operated under a file and trial approach. Exceptions have proven to be when signing players to a multi-year contract.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers\u2019 last arbitration hearings were with Pedro Baez and Joc Pederson in 2020. Baez won his case but the arbitration panel sided with the Dodgers against Pederson.<\/p>\n<p>Have you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/dodgerblue1958\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">subscribed to the Dodger Blue YouTube channel<\/a>?
