LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers settled with all four of their arbitration-eligible players -- outfielder Alex Call, left-hander Anthony Banda and right-handers Brusdar Graterol and Brock Stewart -- ahead of Thursday's deadline, a source told MLB.com. The team has not confirmed the deals.
Had the Dodgers failed to reach agreements with any of their eligible players, they would have needed to exchange salary figures and schedule arbitration hearings. L.A. usually manages to avoid going to trial with its players, last doing so in 2020.
Here's how much each player will earn in 2026, per a source:
- Graterol: $2.8 million ($2.8 million in 2025)
- Stewart: $1.3 million ($870,000 in '25)
- Call: $1.6 million (pre-arbitration in '25)
- Banda: $1.625 million ($1 million in '25)
Graterol, 27, was out for all of 2025 while recovering from right shoulder labrum surgery. The hard-throwing reliever was also limited to just seven appearances in the regular season and three in the postseason in '24 due to shoulder and hamstring injuries. In his final year of club control before free agency, Graterol is expected to be healthy entering Spring Training.
Last season, the Dodgers missed Graterol's presence in leverage spots, as the beleaguered bullpen was lacking a true shutdown right-hander due to the struggles of Blake Treinen and Kirby Yates, as well as the injuries to Michael Kopech and Evan Phillips. In 178 appearances with the Dodgers across five seasons, Graterol has a 2.69 ERA. He's held right-handed hitters to a .524 OPS in his career.
Banda, 32, is in his second year of arbitration. He led Dodgers pitchers with 71 appearances and posted a 3.18 ERA in his second season in L.A., where he's found stability after bouncing around between organizations in his first seven years in the Majors.
Call, 31, is in his first year of arbitration-eligibility. After being traded from the Nationals ahead of last year's Deadline, he made it into 38 games for the Dodgers and hit .247 with a .717 OPS.
Stewart, 34, is in his second year of arbitration. The righty reliever also joined the Dodgers at the previous Trade Deadline, but he made just four appearances before sustaining an injury to his right shoulder. A debridement procedure ultimately ended his 2025 season, but the Dodgers are hopeful that he won't miss too much time to begin '26. Between the Twins and Dodgers, Stewart posted a 2.63 ERA in 43 appearances last season.
