Dodgers salary arbitration overview, schedule

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers still have five remaining players eligible for salary arbitration, a number that could be greatly reduced in the next week or so.

Per the collective bargaining agreement, the date to officially file for salary arbitration is Tuesday, the first move in a two-step process that ends with the exchange of salary figures three days later, on Friday, Jan. 16.

Both the player and team each submit one salary figure, and if the two sides can't work out an agreement the two sides will eventually take part in an arbitration hearing, each side submitting its case to a three-person panel at a later-scheduled time in Phoenix at some point between February 1-20.

But most likely, a deal will get done for most, if not all of these cases before a hearing is needed.

The Dodgers have five players eligible for salary arbitration, the most intriguing of which is Kenley Jansen, who could nearly double his $4.3 million 2014 salary this year, established as one of the best closers in the game. A.J. Ellis is eligible for arbitration for the third time, while Justin Turner will be going through the process for the first time, having been non-tendered last offseason by the Mets. A pair of offseason acquisitions — pitcher Juan Nicasio and outfielder Chris Heisey — round out the Dodgers' arbitration list.

Darwin Barney avoided arbitration back on Dec. 2, signing a one-year deal worth $2.525 million.
