If there was a team that “stole the show” during this offseason, there is no doubt that they were San Diego Padres, whose organization swept the winter market after making several exchanges with other franchises. His best acquisitions can be summed up in the three starting players he added to his strong rotation: Blake Snell, Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove.
While parents have increasingly carried a strong list for the 2021 campaign, the Dodgers have only looked “excessively” at their neighbor and only on February 5 did they respond strongly after confirming signature of the free agency “bomb”: Trevor Bauer.
Surprisingly, during Bauer’s introduction to the media at Dodger Stadium, Dodgers President Andrew Freeman was asked if the signing of the current Cy Young in the NL was to counter some. Parents who have already collected a “blunder”; Here is what the executive replied:
“I certainly noticed what they did (Padres), but I didn’t sign it (Bauer) simply because of their movements.”

Friedman answered the “awkward” media question that covered the Dodgers’ welcome to Trevor Bauer, who signed a three-year contract for $ 102 million and who, at least in 2021 and 2022, will become the highest paid player in history with a salary of 40 and 45 million annually, respectively.
It should be noted that one of the clauses added to the contract is that Bauer could choose to refuse the agreement with Los Angeles every time the first two seasons end.
