The Dodgers reportedly made a bit of an unusual signing on Wednesday, inking righty reliever Tommy Kahnle to a two-year contract worth an apparent $4.75 million plus incentives.
Kahnle Dodgers deal: 4.75M plus incentives
2021 – 750k
2022 – 3.45
Also a 550k signing bonus— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) December 23, 2020
The deal is unusual in the sense that Kahnle will not pitch during the upcoming 2021 campaign after having undergone Tommy John surgery this past season.
The Kahnle contract adds to a plethora of offseason signings that feature several low-risk, high-reward types of players.
