Former Dodgers pitcher Tyler Anderson signed with the Angels earlier this week, turning down the one-year, $19.65 million qualifying offer the Dodgers had extended. Anderson got a three-year, $39 million deal from Anaheim, and there were reports that while the Dodgers were interested in having the All-Star lefty back on a multi-year contract, they weren’t willing to go to three years.
On Thursday, Anderson talked with the media and shed a little light on how the process went down.
Reading between the lines, it sounds like multiple teams offered Anderson three years but the Dodgers probably weren’t one of them.
