What’s Baseball Arbitration all About?

It’s not a subject that fans often pay any particular time or attention to, but starting next Monday (Feb. 3) arbitration hearings will begin for those arbitration-eligible players, who were unable to negotiate a contract with their team prior to the date to exchange salary figures.

The last time the Dodgers went to arbitration was in 2007 with Joe Beimel. The last time the Dodgers went to arbitration with a player and lost, was in 2001, when relief pitcher, Terry Adams won his arbitration hearing.

This year, four players were not able to come to an agreement with the Dodgers.
