Players and teams will next exchange salary figures on Friday and, in each case where the sides can’t come to an agreement, they will head to an arbitration hearing before a three-person panel scheduled between Feb. 1 and Feb. 20. In 2013 there were 133 players to file for arbitration, but for the first time in the 40-year history of the process, no cases went to hearing.
The Padres and outfielder Seth Smith avoided arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year contract.
