Dodgers reportedly sign Vidal Nuno to 1-year deal, avoiding arbitration
The Dodgers came to terms with left-handed pitcher Vidal Nuno on a 2017 contract on Tuesday, avoiding salary arbitration. Nuno will earn $1.125 million this season, per Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.
Today is filing day for salary arbitration, a procedural move that ensures a hearing between player and team if the two sides can’t reach an agreement. The salary exchange date is Friday.
Four Dodgers remain eligible for salary arbitration — catcher Yasmani Grandal and pitchers Alex Wood, Luis Avilan and Josh Fields.
The club signed Scott Van Slyke ($1.325 million) and Chris Hatcher ($1.25 million) on Dec. 1, avoiding arbitration for both.
