The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced Blake Snell as their Opening Day starter. Snell, a two-time Cy Young winner, was signed to a significant five-year, $182 million contract in the offseason. He will face Detroit Tigers' AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal in what promises to be a thrilling pitching matchup. Manager Dave Roberts also confirmed that Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki will start in Games 2 and 3 against the Tigers. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman expressed confidence in Snell's ability to achieve further success in Los Angeles.
With a guy that's enjoyed that much success, usually in major league free agency, you're buying the back-side of a guy's career, the accomplishments that they have had.
With Blake, one thing that's really exciting for us is, for as much success as he's had, we feel like there's more in there and a lot of upside beyond what he's done to this point.
