The Los Angeles Dodgers and Trevor Bauer have agreed to a 3-year, $102 million deal, first reported by Jon Heyman.
Bauer agreed to a heavily front-loaded deal with the defending World Series champions, who will be paying him $40 million in 2021 and $45 million in 2022. On Thursday, Bauer’s agent, Rachel Luba, tweeted that the sweepstakes was down to two teams, presumed to be the Mets and the Dodgers. As of just before Bauer’s announcement - shared in a video on his social media platforms - the Mets were considered the front runners to land Bauer.
