The Dodgers forked up over $1 billion in shrinks last year, and they have now put down the first nine-figure deal in this offseason, less than one month after triumphning the Fall Classic.
Snell unitecessitate the San Francisco Giants last offseason on a two-year deal which integrated an choose-out after his Cy Young Award-triumphning 2023 campaign. But teams were snurtured to promise to him, leaving him a free agent until March.
His season got off to a cimpolite begin, as he had a 9.51 ERA in his first six begins – he also caught an IL stint in that summarize. But, in his final 14 outings, he pitched to a miniscule 1.23 ERA, striking out 114 batters in 80.1 innings. Understandably so, the Dodgers enjoy what they see out of the lefty.

Los Angeles figures to get Shohei Ohtani back in the rotation, and it remains to be seen the overweightes of Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler – the createer is more predicted to stay in L.A. and stay a nurtureer Dodger, if he doesn’t withdraw.
But, they also will have Tyler Glasnow back, and they are the likeites to land Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki, equitable as they did last year with Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Snell has become one of the more under-appreciated arms in baseball, predicted due to his deficiency to go startant in games. He pitched a no-hitter in 2024, yet that had been the first time he had ever recorded an out in the eighth inning in his nurtureer.
His 11.2 K/9 is the best in MLB history, and his nurtureer ERA is a 3.19 – although he only has one All-Star nod, he is lowkey on at least a borderline Hall of Fame trajectory.

Snell turns 32 next week, so perhaps the Dodgers are taking some sort of danger – but it’s pretty apparent they can outspfinish any possible misachieve they create.
