"I just have a lot of confidence in Tony. I have confidence in his preparation, his experience, his heartbeat and his ability to execute many pitches."
Tony Gonsolin faced a tough 2023 season marked by a right elbow injury that led to Tommy John surgery. Despite pitching through discomfort and the Dodgers' injury woes, he earned $5.4 million for 2024 due to a contract that incentivized him for starts. Dodgers president Andrew Friedman noted the contractâs mutual benefit. After a back tweak in Spring Training 2025, Gonsolin returned to the Dodgers' rotation, showing confidence in his ability to pitch effectively, as expressed by manager Dave Roberts.
