Last March, Snell signed a two-year, $62 million contract with the Dodgers archrivals, the San Francisco Giants but opted out of the second season at the beginning of November.
Snell's 2024 season was a mixed bag. Injuries limited the 2-time Cy Young Award winner to 20 starts in which he went 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA striking out 145 batters in 104 innings pitched. However, in half of those starts in August and September including his no-hitter of the Cincinnati Reds, Snell went 5-0 with a 1.44 ERA.
The Dodgers, fresh off their World Series triumph, have an embarrassment of riches with their starting pitchers with Gavin Stone, Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jack Flaherty not to mention Walker Buehler, Clayton Kershaw and Shohei Ohtani. When a 2-time Cy Young winner is icing on the cake to your pitching staff, it makes your team the envy of baseball.
