According to Jon Heyman, the Dodgers and Chris Hatcher agreed to a one-year, $1.065 million dollar contract, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing.
Hatcher only has just over two years of service time under his belt, giving him “Super Two” status that I’m sure none of our readers will make an inappropriate joke about. By being in the top-22 percent of service time among players with between two and three years of service time, Hatcher received an extra year of arbitration. His $1.065M contract is a hefty raise from the $522,500 he received last year.
Hatcher was acquired from the Marlins in the Dee Gordon swap and after a scoreless appearance on opening day, gave up five earned runs in his next two appearances.
