The Dodgers avoided arbitration with two pitchers Friday, agreeing to contracts for next season with right-handers Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin, both of whom will be returning to the mound after missing all of this past season because of injuries.
According to people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly, May settled with the Dodgers at $2.135 million and Gonsolin at $5.4 million. The deals came ahead of Friday’s deadline for teams to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players.
May, 27, has a 3.10 earned-run average in 46 appearances but has yet to fulfill his promise as a top prospect because of struggles with injuries.
