A’s avoid arbitration with all eligible players

The Oakland A’s won’t need to go to any arbitration hearings this year, as they’ve agreed to terms with all of their remaining eligible players.

The A’s entered the offseason with 10 players eligible for arbitration. Before the lockout they signed contracts with three of them (Pinder, Kemp, Guerra), and then after the lockout they traded away three more (Olson, Chapman, Bassitt). On Tuesday the team announced they’ve agreed to one-year deals with the final four players, avoiding arbitration with everybody.

The settlement amounts were later reported for today’s four signings:
