The Dodgers were able to retain two of their arbitration eligible players yesterday in Andre Eithier and James Loney. Eithier will turn 30 this year as the season is starting and this was his last year to be eligible for arbitration and he will become a free agent at the end of the year. Loney will also be a free agent at the end of this coming season and was in danger of not being a part of the team because he put up very disappointing numbers before the all - star break.
Signing the two of them was good for the Dodgers, but they must resign Clayton Kershaw. To lose a great young pitcher who has drawn comparison's to Sandy Koufax would be a big blow to the Dodger's. Clayton asked for ten million dollars in his first year of arbitration, which is a lot of money in a players first year of arbitration.
The arbitration hearings will take place during the first three weeks in February.
