The Los Angeles Dodgers have avoided arbitration with reliever Brusdar Graterol, agreeing to a one-year deal during his last season before entering free agency.
Graterol has been out with a shoulder injury, which led him to miss the whole 2024 season.
He signed a one-year, $2.8 million deal with the Dodgers, though if he stays healthy and returns near his former self, the righty will be earning much more this time next year.
In other news, the real price to sign a prized free agent has been revealed to the Dodgers as they face a massive luxury tax bill.
A deal for Kyle Tucker or Bo Bichette will cost 110% more after taxes are applied.
Finally, World Series hero Justin Dean was designated for assignment by the San Francisco Giants, who claimed the outfielder after the Dodgers created a roster spot by waiving him.
He served as a defensive specialist who could run the bases well in pinch-running situations. His skill set should land him with another organization, whether it’s the Dodgers or somewhere else.
