The Dodgers and right-handed reliever Dylan Floro have avoided arbitration with a $975K agreement, Robert Murray of FanSided tweets. MLBTR projected that Floro would make anywhere from $900K to $1.2MM in arbitration.

Floro, a 13th-round pick of the Rays in 2012, bounced around among a few teams earlier in his career before finding a home in Los Angeles. The Dodgers first acquired Floro on waivers from the Cubs in 2017, but they lost him when the Reds claimed him before the 2018 season. However, LA re-acquired Floro from Cincinnati in a July 2018 trade that has paid off for the Dodgers.
As a member of the Dodgers, Floro has managed a 3.10 ERA/3.68 SIERA in 98 2/3 innings, thanks in no small part to an ability to induce grounders (52.7 percent) and limit walks (7.1 percent). He posted a 2.59 ERA with career bests in grounders (56 percent) and walks (4.1 percent) in 24 1/3 frames last year.
He’s been a good steady relief pitcher
His ball almost moves to
Much. Solid bullpen piece.

So you gave yourself a 30% cushion to get it right, nice model ☺
Let’s see yours.
Ewww.

Savage!
Last season had a few more variables than usual
If you consider the standard deviation of 30% as the difference between data values held by the team (low value) and the player (high value). The 30% difference isn’t that much.
The using past player comps and past salaries will always force anyone trying to predict arb #s to give a relatively wide birth. Not to mention valuations fluctuate based on market trends in the MLB itself.
With Baez and Wood signing elsewhere getting Floro signed without dealing with an arbitrator is at least something positive for the week.
I’d consider Wood signing with any other team a positive. I really don’t like that guy. Baez has been solid though, he’s had his up and downs but I really liked the guy. Dodgers bullpen is gonna be iffy though if you ask me. Don’t know what to expect from Trienen (however it’s spelled), Kenley scares me, lost Baez. We shall see. Hoping they add one more arm to the bullpen personally.
Deserves it simply due to the strikeout of Arozarena in Game 6.
you nailed it!
Rather have Floro and other bullpen pieces we have then time wasting trash Baez!
