"The Dodgers could look to do the same with Andy Pages after his breakout season. However, they have not started those talks yet, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic."
"An extension now could also save them some money compared to potential arbitration talks down the line. It would also give them cost certainty for multiple seasons."
"If Pages gets injured or struggles, he could end up losing significant amounts of money compared to if he signed an extension now."
"Signing players under team control to an extension is not something the Dodgers have typically done, and more often it is used by small-market teams."
The Chicago Cubs signed Pete Crow-Armstrong to a six-year, $115 million contract extension, delaying his free agency. The Dodgers may consider a similar extension for Andy Pages after his breakout season, but have not initiated talks. An extension could provide cost certainty and avoid arbitration, benefiting both the player and team. However, the Dodgers typically do not pursue extensions for players under team control, preferring to manage costs differently. The risk of injury or performance issues makes extensions appealing for players like Pages.
