Today is arbitration-salary-exchange day, an important day in the offseason for CBT championship contenders. Dustin previewed this day back in October, when the Dodgers had 12 arbitration-eligible players. Yimi Garcia was non-tendered and the Dodgers had previously agreed to terms with Scott Alexander and Austin Barnes, so nine players had the chance to come to an agreement with the Dodgers today to avoid an arbitration hearing, which the Dodgers haven’t had since 2007.
The morning started with the Dodgers agreeing to terms with two pitchers, Julio Urias and Ross Stripling.
