When left-handed pitcher Blake Snell signed a pillow contract with a first-year opt-out with the San Francisco Giants last offseason, his hope was that he’d be able to cash out this offseason, and land the contract he had anticipated a year ago. And when he officially opted out a fe weeks ago, he maintained that optimism.
And he was right. On Tuesday, Snell signed the deal he and mega agent Scott Boras were searching for. And, just as you all feared, it’s with the Los Angeles Dodgers. ESPN’s Jeff Passan broke the news that Snell was signing with the Dodgers for five years and $182 million, physical pending.
