Blake Snell's first foray into MLB free agency was a protracted disaster. He's probably happier with how the second go-around worked out.
The two-time Cy Young winner agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Snell didn't have a qualifying offer this year after rejecting one last season, so his signing will not cost his new team a draft pick.
