Last winter, Blake Snell faced a long wait in free agency before signing with the San Francisco Giants. However, this time around, he wasted no time in securing a lucrative deal after opting out of his previous contract. The two-time Cy Young award winner has now inked a five-year, $182 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, bringing stability to their rotation.
In this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Russell Dorsey delve into the repercussions of Snell’s swift deal with the Dodgers, contrasting it with last year’s prolonged negotiations. They also analyze the Dodgers’ financial strategy, including the use of deferred money in contracts, and discuss how this signing impacts other teams like the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants.
