Dodgers' Alex Vesia: Avoids arbitration
www.cbssports.comAlex Vesia’s contract status has recently been resolved with the Dodgers: they picked up his club option for 2026, keeping him in Los Angeles for another year. This means his 2026 salary is effectively secured by the team option, avoiding free agency for now.[2][3]
Key points:
- 2025: Vesia signed a one-year deal worth $2.25 million with a $3.55 million club option for 2026, plus a $500,000 buyout (conditions based on appearances).[5][7]
- 2026: Dodgers exercised the option, confirming Vesia remains in the bullpen with a $3.55–$3.65 million valuation depending on incentives and reporting source, effectively locking in the year.[3][4]
- Context: His situation has included personal matters affecting public commentary, but the contractual decision for 2026 was reported as exercised by the Dodgers.[4][2]
