The Dodgers have no plans to non-tender Milton Bradley after his latest run-in with the law, but GM Paul DePodesta thinks the outfielder would be smart to forego arbitration.
The Dodgers could use Bradley’s problems against him in an arbitration hearing. They’d rather sign him before the non-tender date. Bradley earned $1.73 million in 2004, his first year of arbitration eligibility. He’s probably due somewhere around $3 million for 2005.
