The Los Angeles Dodgers has recruited left-handed pitcher Blake Snell (31), who won the Cy Young Award twice. How long will the Dodgers’ stoves continue by investing a large amount of money, unexpectedly.
MLB.COM said on the 27th, “Snell, the most notable pitcher in the free agent market, has signed a five-year, $182 million (about 254.4 billion won) large contract with the World Series champion Dodgers.” The Dodgers club has not made an official announcement yet, but Snell admitted to going to the Dodgers by posting a photo of himself wearing a Dodgers uniform on his social media (SNS).
Snell belatedly signed a two-year, 62 million-dollar contract with the San Francisco Giants in March this year. He included an opt-out clause in his contract that allows him to break his one-year contract at the end of the 2024 season. In fact, Snell chose to re-enter the free agency, which turned out to be a success.
Snell was sluggish early this season and was listed on the disabled list twice. However, he pitched well with five wins and an ERA of 1.45 in 12 games in the second half of the year, raising his ransom. This year, Snell posted five wins and three losses and an ERA of 3.12.
ESPN(에볼루션카지노) reported, “If Snell passes the physical examination, the Dodgers will officially announce the recruitment of Snell. There is no opt-out clause in the contract between Snell and the Dodgers. The down payment is 52 million dollars, and some of his annual salary is expected to be paid after the contract period.” “If Snell completes his contract with the Dodgers, he will become the third MLB left-handed pitcher to sign a major contract after David Price (217 million dollars for seven years) and Clayton Kershaw (215 million dollars for seven years).”
MLB Network predicted after the news of Snell’s recruitment was announced, “The Dodgers will start the sixth starting pitcher system of Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani, Tony Gonsolin and Bobby Miller in 2025. Starting pitchers such as Kershaw and Dustin May can also join the team during the 2025 season.
It seems unlikely that the Dodgers will stop recruiting bigwigs. It is also known that they are still willing to recruit Juan Soto, the biggest free agent in the FA market, and Roki Sasaki, a fastball pitcher for the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) team. “Chances are high that this will not be the end of the Dodgers’ reinforcement in the offseason,” MLB Network’s John Heyman said. Hayman said earlier that the Dodgers are looking to recruit both bigwigs with good performance, including Snell, Corbin Burns, and Max Fried, as well as Sasaki. Interest in Sasaki remains. Also, it has been revealed that the Dodgers is one of the five teams that recently proposed a contract offer to Soto. It seems that they are still seeking to renew the contract of Teoscar Hernandez, who was released as a free agent, and recruit Soto as well.
If the Dodgers, which won the World Series, sign an additional FA big fish following Snell’s recruitment, it is expected to build a truly powerful power next season.
