Blake Snell had a successful second attempt at free agency, signing a five-year, $182 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The deal includes a $52 million signing bonus and deferred money. Snell had a strong 2024 season with the San Francisco Giants, finishing with a 3.12 ERA and 145 strikeouts in 20 starts.
