After signing both Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto last offseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers made the first major splash of this offseason Tuesday night by signing starting pitcher Blake Snell in free agency.
According to Ken Rosenthal and Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Snell and the Dodgers agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract.
The Dodgers now have arguably the best and deepest projected starting rotation in baseball for the 2025 season:
- Blake Snell
- Tyler Glasnow
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto
- Shohei Ohtani
- Tony Gonsolin OR Bobby Miller OR Dustin May OR Landon Knack
Ohtani served as only a designated hitter last season as he recovered from an elbow injury, but he is expected to be available to also act as a starting pitcher next season.
