While the Dodgers continue to shuffle the decks and create money for potential new players, fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing Julio Urias will remain on the team for at-least one more season. However, that’s where the sighs should end.
Urias is coming off the best season of his career as he finished as a Cy Young finalist with an NL leading 2.16 ERA and a third best record of 17-7. This all comes at the cusp of Urias ending the final year of his contract and he’s expected to command big money.
This is money the Dodgers are willing to pay especially with Clayton Kershaw only getting older and injuries being significant last season in the pitching unit.
