The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a significant move for the 2025 season by signing Blake Snell to a five-year, $182 million contract. The deal reunites Snell with Dodgers President of Baseball Operations, Andrew Friedman, who first drafted him when he was with the Tampa Bay Rays. This contract includes a massive $52 million signing bonus and deferred salary.
This signing fortifies the Dodgers’ rotation, adding a two-time Cy Young Award winner to their ranks. Snell, known for his dominant pitching, will be part of a star-studded rotation that also includes Yoshinobu Yamamoto and potentially Shohei Ohtani.
