Our salary arbitration previews continue today with the third consecutive pitcher who was a part of the Dodgers’ postseason bullpen last year, with right-hander Josh Fields.
The Dodgers acquired Fields from the Astros at the non-waiver trade deadline of Aug. 1, and he pitched his way into an October role with a 2.79 ERA in 22 games, with 22 strikeouts and eight walks in 19u2153 innings.
Fields has three years, 92 days of major league service time, though this is his second time through salary arbitration. Fields had exactly three years of service time heading into 2016 and signed a one-year deal worth $900,000 with Houston.
