The Dodgers have added another star talent to their World Series-winning roster, as the team has reportedly signed two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell.
Snell, 31, pitched last season for the Giants and posted a 3.12 ERA and 145 strikeouts.
And now he will join the Dodgers on a five-year, $182 million contract, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Jorge Castillo.
The deal is reportedly subject to Snell passing a medical exam.
Prior to ESPN’s report, Snell posted a photoshopped photo of himself in a Dodgers uniform on his Instagram page.
Snell announced the news by posting a mockup of himself wearing a Dodgers jersey.
The Dodgers clinched the World Series on October 30 with a Game 5 victory over the Yankees.
‘Los Angeles,’ he captioned the post with an eyeball emoji.
Snell’s most recent Cy Young win came in the 2023 season, when he pitched a league-leading 2.25 ERA for the Padres.
He will now join a rotation with Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and two-way star Shohei Ohtani, who is expected to return to the mound next season following Tommy John surgery in September 2023.
