Along with seeing multiple players reach free agency this offseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers also had more than a handful who are eligible for salary arbitration. The club agreed to one-year contracts with Chris Hatcher and Scott Van Slyke prior to the deadline to tender players.
Although he was not yet eligible for salary arbitration, Charlie Culberson also re-signed on a one-year contract. The 27-year-old was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City soon after, removing him from the 40-man roster.
Culberson again figures to spend much of the season with OKC, while giving the Dodgers positional flexibility and option against left-handed pitching whenever necessary.
