Los Angeles Dodgers are pursuing Blake Snell, a top pitcher, to enhance their rotation for the upcoming season.
Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, is a free agent after activating his release clause from the San Francisco Giants.
The 31-year-old pitcher finished the 2024 season with a 3.12 ERA and 145 strikeouts, showcasing his strong performance post-All-Star break.
Other teams, including the Giants, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and Texas Rangers, are also interested in signing Snell, indicating a competitive market.
The Dodgers are looking to strengthen their pitching staff following injuries to key players like Clayton Kershaw and Tyler Glasnow during the last season.
Snell’s familiarity with National League West rivals, including the Giants and Padres, is seen as an advantage for the Dodgers.
The Dodgers are financially positioned to make significant investments, signaling their intent to compete for another World Series title.
