"As the Los Angeles Dodgers looked to bolster their starting rotation last offseason, they made an early splash by signing Blake Snell to a five-year, $182 million contract. The deal included a $52 million signing bonus, deferred salary and limited no-trade clause. Snell's first season with the Dodgers included missing three months because of a left-shoulder injury, but he ultimately played a key role in helping lead the team to a second consecutive World Series title."
"Snell spent a total of 119 days on the injured list, which could potentially lengthen his stay with the Dodgers. L.A. would pick up a $10 million club option for 2030 on Snell should he miss at least 90 days because of a specific injury and isn't traded. It is unclear what injury the Dodgers were protecting themselves against, but it is likely related to the arm and/or shoulder."
The Dodgers signed Blake Snell to a five-year, $182 million contract that included a $52 million signing bonus, deferred salary and a limited no-trade clause. Snell missed three months due to a left-shoulder injury and spent 119 days on the injured list. The contract contains a condition that would trigger a $10 million club option for 2030 if Snell misses at least 90 days because of a specific injury and is not traded, likely tied to arm or shoulder concerns. Snell posted a 2.35 ERA and 10.6 K/9 in 61.1 regular-season innings and added strong postseason numbers, reinforcing the Dodgers' emphasis on his October impact.
