Trevor Bauer to Dodgers: National League Cy-Young pitcher Trevor Bauer has agreed to a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.
Bauer, a North Hollywood native, ends his free agency circus by landing a three-year deal with the reigning World Series Champions. The contract is for $102 million total but comes with opt-outs after years one and two. Bauer has stated in the past that he does not plan to lock himself into a multi-year deal but this is as close to a loophole there is to that. His earnings in 2021 and 2022 (if he opts in) will be the highest for a single season in baseball history.
