Blake Snell has reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers for a five-year contract worth $182 million, as confirmed by a source familiar with the discussions.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner took to social media to announce the exciting news, sharing an image of himself proudly wearing the Dodgers uniform, sporting the number 7.
ESPN was the first outlet to report the specifics of Snell’s lucrative contract.
Joining the ranks of the Dodgers’ formidable rotation, Snell will team up with superstar Shohei Ohtani, marking a significant move for the franchise following Ohtani’s record-breaking $700 million, 10-year deal last winter.
