Exceptions have proven to be when signing players to a multi-year contract.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers\u2019 last arbitration hearings were with Pedro Baez and Joc Pederson in 2020. Pederson filed at $9.5 million and the Dodgers countered by submitting for a $7.75 million salary. MLB Trade Rumors projected an $8.5 million salary for Pederson, but the arbitration panel wound up siding with the Dodgers\u2019 figure.<\/p>\n<p>Baez won his arbitration case and received a $4 million salary for the 2020 season. The Dodgers had countered at $3.5 million, while MLB Trade Rumors projected a $3.3 million salary.<\/p>\n<p>Before cases with Baez and Pederson, the Dodgers\u2019 most recent arbitration hearing was against Joe Beimel in 2007, which they won.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A subplot to free agency for the Los Angeles Dodgers and all other teams has been the usual business of making contract decisions on players who are&#8230;
