After a winter of wondering where the best free-agent pitcher in baseball would sign, Trevor Bauer announced on Friday, Feb. 5 that he had chosen the Los Angeles Dodgers. On Thursday, the Dodgers and Bauer made it official with a press conference welcoming the righty starter to Los Angeles.
Bauer signed a three-year contract with Los Angeles worth $102 million total guaranteed, along with two possibilities for opt out. The 2020 Cy Young winner will collect $40 million in 2020, $45 million in 2021, and $17 million should he chose to stay with the Dodgers for the second and third years of his contract.
