The Dodgers announced today that they have tendered contracts to all 10 of their salary arbitration eligible candidates. Those 10 are Pedro Baez, Tony Cingrani, Josh Fields, Yimi Garcia, Alex Wood, Enrique Hernandez, Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig, Corey Seager, and Chris Taylor.
In regards to Tony Cingrani, Ken Rosenthal reported earlier today that the Dodgers agreed to a 1-year, $2.65 million contract for 2019 and that the deal is fully guaranteed. Cingrani was projected by MLBTradeRumors.com to make $2.7 million this offseason. The Dodgers have not officially confirmed this report.
Here is a look at projected salaries for all 10 of the Dodgers arbitration-eligible players courtesy of MLBTradeRumors.com:
Pedro Baez (Arb 2) – $1.8 million
Tony Cingrani (Arb 3) – $2.7 million (Signed a 1-year, $2.65 million contract)
Josh Fields (Arb 4) – $2.8 million
Yimi Garcia (Arb 2) – $900 thousand
Alex Wood (Arb 3) – $9 million

The Dodgers did have one non-tender as they non-tendered Pat Venditte. Venditte was designated for assignment on Wednesday to make room for Adam McCreery who acquired via trade from the Braves.
For the 9 remaining tendered arbitration-eligible players, they have until January 11th to reach a new deal for the 2019 season. If they are unable to reach a deal both the team and the player will submit a salary figure that they feel makes sense for them and if they are still unable to reach an agreement then an independent arbitrator will decide for them.
