The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a huge splash this December by signing two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell to a massive five-year, $182 million contract.
This deal, which includes opt-outs, deferred money, and a hefty $52 million signing bonus, positions Snell as one of the highest-paid left-handed pitchers in MLB history, following in the footsteps of Clayton Kershaw and David Price.
Snell, who was the 2023 National League Cy Young Award winner, joins the Dodgers after a strong finish to the 2024 season, helping shore up the team’s pitching rotation after some injuries to key players. This deal comes alongside other major signings for the Dodgers, cementing their place as a formidable contender for the 2025 season.
