Trevor Bauer is headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the team is going to pay a hefty price to add the reigning Cy Young Award winner.
The official terms of Bauer’s deal is reportedly three years and $102 million, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, but some creative accounting makes the reality a little different. Bauer’s deal reportedly contains two opt-outs, effectively making it a one-year deal with two player options.
Bauer’s 2021 salary will reportedly be a whopping $40 million, followed by a $45 million salary in 2022 and a $17 million salary in 2023.
