Dodgers Rumors: Corey Seager Surpasses Projected Salary In Avoiding Arbitration

The 2018 season seemingly came to an end before it truly got going for Corey Seager as he underwent Tommy John surgery in early May. He appeared in 26 games prior to making a decision for the season-ending operation.

Come the offseason, Seager was among the players on the Dodgers roster who were eligible for salary arbitration. He, Pedro Baez, Josh Fields, Yimi Garcia, Kiké Hernandez, Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig, Corey Seager, Chris Taylor and Alex Wood were each tendered contracts.

Tony Cingrani come to terms on a one-year deal, while Pat Venditte was non-tendered. Last month’s trade with the Cincinnati Reds that included Puig and Wood left the Dodgers with six arbitration-eligible players.
