Blake Snell, the two-time Cy Young Award-winning left-handed pitcher and former San Francisco Giants player, has agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, pending a physical examination. The deal includes a $52 million signing bonus and deferred payments. Snell announced the move by posting a photo of himself in a Dodgers uniform on Instagram with the caption 'LA' accompanied by an eye emoji. Snell, who pitched a no-hitter three months ago and led the league in ERA last season, further solidifies the Dodgers' status as strong contenders. The Yankees, Red Sox, and Orioles were reportedly interested in Snell before he chose the Dodgers.
