Dodgers chose the right reliever to gamble on in Blake Treinen

This off-season the free-agent market featured two big-time relievers who were coming off injury-plagued seasons. The two relievers being Dellin Betances and Blake Treinen and now both have found new teams. For the Dodgers, they had interest in both but decided to take a flier on Blake Treinen signing him to a one year $10 million dollar contract.

Betances may not have been a true choice for the Dodgers as he was rumored to prefer the east coast but after seeing their contracts, the Dodgers getting Treinen for one season could end up a steal. Betances has a player option for 2021 but will still get $3 million if he declines it which would essentially ensure he receives $10.
