Friday afternoon marks the deadline for teams to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players, and the Los Angeles Dodgers entered the day with 10 of them.
The group comprised of relievers Pedro Baez, Tony Cingrani, Josh Fields and Yimi Garcia, position players Kiké Hernandez, Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig, Corey Seager and Chris Taylor, and starter Alex Wood.
If the two sides want to avoid the arbitration process altogether then they have the ability to negotiate a contract at present time, and it appears the Dodgers have done that with one of their players.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Dodgers agreed to a one-year with Cingrani to avoid arbitration:
As Rosenthal stated, fully guaranteed contracts are rare for arbitration-eligible players, so it is nice to see that the Dodgers were willing to hand that out to Cingrani.
