Facing decisions on nine players, the Los Angeles Dodgers tendered contracts to Pedro Baez, Josh Fields, Yimi Garcia, Kiké Hernandez, Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig, Corey Seager, Chris Taylor and Alex Wood prior to the deadline.
By doing so, the Dodgers are now permitted to negotiate contracts with each of the aforementioned players this offseason. The club essentially has until January to hammer out new deals, or else salary figures will be exchanged by both sides later that month.
Arbitration hearings would then be held in February. Though, such an outcome hasn’t been necessary under the guidance of Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman; The club’s last hearing was in 2007 with reliever Joe Beimel.
