The Dodgers’ two remaining arbitration-eligible players exchanged salary figures with the Dodgers on Tuesday, with James Loney asking for $5.25 million and Hong-Chih Kuo for $3.075 million.

The Dodgers countered by offering Loney $4.7 million and Kuo $2.55 million.

If Loney and Kuo can’t reach agreements with the Dodgers on new contracts, their 2011 salaries will be determined in arbitration hearings next month.

Both players are eligible for arbitration for the second time.

Loney was paid $3.1 million last season and Kuo was paid $950,000.

Loney and Kuo will be eligible for free agency after the 2012 season.

Also on Tuesday, the Dodgers avoided arbitration with Chad Billingsley, agreeing to a one-year, $6.275-million contract. Billingsley was paid $3.85 million last year.
