Properly nicely nicely. Blake Snell is a Dodger. Didn’t see that coming.
Left-hander Blake Snell and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in settlement on a five-year, $182 million contract, pending bodily, sources inform me and @jorgecastillo. The World Sequence champions get the two-time Cy Younger winner within the first nine-figure deal of the winter.

He’ll be a part of a Dodgers rotation that’s projected to incorporate Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Dustin Might/Tony Gonsolin. Don’t overlook about Roki Sasaki both. He could also be on his approach in 2025.
Good factor the video games aren’t performed on paper as a result of in the event that they had been, that rotation appears nearly inconceivable to beat.
This signing doesn’t simply harm as a result of a fantastic pitcher goes to our rival. It’s as a result of it’s Snell. He cherished San Diego. His dugout conversations with Don and Mud had been hilarious (no disrespect to Michael King nevertheless it’s simply not the identical). He dropped off pizza for the entrance workplace even when he was with San Francisco final season.
However now that he’s in that Dodger blue, I can’t take a look at him the identical approach. I received’t hate the human however I’ll actually dislike the baseball participant as a result of he’s a Dodger. Easy as that and I’m not the one Padre fan who thinks that tonight.
In all seriousness although, good for him personally. He went from signing a deal throughout Spring Coaching because the reigning Cy Younger winner to getting his massive pay day earlier than we even obtained to Thanksgiving and the Winter Conferences.
Heck of a job by Scott Boras.
It simply sucks it’s with the Dodgers.
