Dodgers Lock Down Arbitration-Eligible Players

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reached agreements with all four of their arbitration-eligible players, successfully avoiding salary arbitration hearings. Right-handed pitcher Brusdar Graterol was the first to agree, signing a one-year deal for $2.8 million on Wednesday. The following day, fellow right-hander Brock Stewart, outfielder Alex Call, and left-handed pitcher Anthony Banda also finalized their one-year contracts.

Anthony Banda, who has found stability with the Dodgers after a journeyman start to his career, will earn $1,625,000 in 2026. Brock Stewart, despite an injury history, agreed to a $1.3 million deal for the upcoming season. Alex Call, acquired from the Nationals and eligible for the first time as a Super Two player, will make $1.6 million.

These agreements continue the Dodgers' impressive trend under Andrew Friedman, with 83 of 91 eligible players reaching deals before the exchange deadline since he took over. This successful arbitration period contributes to the team's estimated competitive balance tax payroll of approximately $323.3 million for the current year.
