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

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

The Dodgers now have perhaps 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 as the lone designated hitter last season as he recovered from an elbow injury, but he is expected to be available to serve as the starting pitcher next season as well.

As for the fifth spot in the rotation, Jon Heyman of 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 are “preferred” to sign the top Japanese free agent in pitcher Roki Sasaki.

Ahead of these potential moves, Spotrac mentions that the Dodgers have a tax payroll of $284.1 million, which is the highest in Major League Baseball. Spotrac also expects their payroll to increase to $307.9 million by Opening Day.
