"The Dodgers avoided arbitration with reliever Brusdar Graterol on Wednesday, reportedly agreeing to terms with the Venezuelan right-hander on a one-year, $2.8 million deal before Thursday's deadline to avoid an arbitration hearing. Graterol, 27, missed the 2025 season after undergoing surgery on the labrum in his right shoulder in Nov. 2024. The $2.8 million figure is the same as his salary for last season."
"Graterol can become a free agent after the 2026 season. The Dodgers have three other arbitration-eligible players who have until Thursday to agree to terms on a salary for next season: Left-hander Anthony Banda, outfielder Alex Call and right-hander Brock Stewart. If any of the players cannot come to an agreement, the team and player must exchange salary figures and a hearing will be scheduled. Negotiations can continue until the date of the hearing."
Brusdar Graterol agreed to a one-year, $2.8 million deal with the Dodgers to avoid an arbitration hearing. Graterol, 27, missed the 2025 season following labrum surgery on his right shoulder in November 2024. The new salary matches his previous year’s pay. The Dodgers acquired Graterol in 2020 in the trade that sent Kenta Maeda to the Twins, and he developed into a hard-throwing bullpen arm. Graterol posted a 1.20 ERA across 67.1 innings in 68 games during 2023. Shoulder inflammation and a hamstring strain limited him to seven regular-season appearances in 2024, though he pitched in three World Series games. He is eligible for free agency after 2026.
