LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Friday signed right-handed pitcher Yimi Garcia to a one-year contract for 2018, avoiding salary arbitration with the reliever.
The contract terms aren’t yet known, but Garcia made $550,000 in 2017. He was projected to earn $700,000 in 2018 by MLB Trade Rumors.
The Dodgers also tendered 2018 contracts to all remaining unsigned players on the 40-man roster before Friday’s 5 p.m. PT deadline. The team has eight more players eligible for salary arbitration this winter.
Garcia missed all of 2017 after Tommy John surgery, though is expected to be ready for spring training.
