Blake Snell has come to terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a five-year contract valued at $182 million, as confirmed by a source familiar with the discussions.
This individual requested anonymity, as the agreement is pending a successful physical examination.
Snell shared the exciting news himself by posting a photo on social media where he is seen wearing a Dodgers uniform, notably donning the number 7.
ESPN was the first to report on the specifics of this impressive deal.
By signing with the Dodgers, Snell will join fellow star Shohei Ohtani in a highly talented pitching rotation, marking the organization’s first significant acquisition of the offseason following Ohtani’s historic $700 million, 10-year deal last year.
Earlier this month, Snell made the decision to opt-out from his contract with the San Francisco Giants, becoming a free agent for the second time in a row after facing injury challenges during his only season with the team.
