After signing both Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto last offseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers made their first big splash of this offseason on Tuesday night by signing starter Blake Snell in free agency.

According to Ken Rosenthal and Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Snell and the Dodgers agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract.

The Dodgers now have arguably the best and deepest projected starting rotation in baseball for the 2025 season:

1. Blake Snell
2. Tyler Glasnow
3. Yoshinobu Yamamoto
4. Shohei Ohtani
5. Tony Gonsolin OR Bobby Miller OR Dustin May OR Landon Knack

Ohtani served only as a designated hitter last season as he recovered from an elbow injury, but he is expected to be available as a starting pitcher next season as well.

As for the fifth spot in the rotation, Jon Heyman is from the New York Post reported that the Dodgers will “presumably” re-sign veteran pitcher and future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw. Heyman also noted that the Dodgers were “preferred” to sign the top Japanese free agent in pitcher Roki Sasaki.

Before these potential moves, the Dodgers recorded a tax bill of $284.1 million, which is the highest in Major League Baseball, according to Spotrac. Spotrac also expects payroll to rise to $307.9 million by opening day.
