Blake Snell is ready to get to work after signing a five-year, $182 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers this offseason.
The left-hander is also ready to take on more responsibility with three starters in the rotation coming off season-ending injuries.
“I think I’m a very talented pitcher. I think I’m a workhorse,” Snell said to The Athletic. “I’ve got to go more innings. I’ll get there. I’m not in a sprint to get there. I’m just trying to get better every day.”
