My God are the Dodgers putting together a juggernaut. Amazing what a combination of money, an ownership willing to spend the money and a smart front office can accomplish.
Edit: here are the details of the contract from MLBtraderumors.com
2:05pm: Bauer and the Dodgers agreed to a three-year deal with opt-out provisions after year one and year two of the contract, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand adds that Bauer is guaranteed a total of $102MM on the deal, which includes a $40MM salary in 2021 and a $45MM salary in 2022. Both marks establish new records for the highest single-season salary, though the contract’s overall $34MM average annual value is still a bit shy of Gerrit Cole’s record $36MM.
Of course, Lionel Messi laughs at those salary numbers.
