Breaking: Dodgers Make Splash,Sign Two-Time Cy Young…
The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly landed superstar pitcher Blake Snell on a long-term deal.
Reports emerged on Tuesday that Snell and the Dodgers have agreed on a five-year, $182 million contract. The deal is pending a physical, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The Dodgers clearly aren’t resting on their laurels after winning the World Series last month. The team is already expected to get a huge boost to its rotation with Shohei Ohtani expected to pitch again next season. The Dodgers adding a two-time Cy Young Award winner in Snell may feel borderline unfair for opposing teams.
Snell looked a little shaky to start his lone year with the San Francisco Giants last season. He had a bloated 6.31 ERA across 8 starts and didn’t resemble the pitcher who had won a Cy Young trophy the year prior. But Snell returned to form in the second half, allowing just 11 earned runs over 12 starts to drop his season ERA to a stellar 3.12.
