This Friday afternoon, Trevor Bauer announced yes he agreed to a deal with the Dodgers. Cy Young from the national team last year is guaranteed at least two years with “Blue and White” in exchange for $ 85 million, plus an option in 2023 for another $ 17. In total, he would earn $ 102 for three years.
According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, The Mets allegedly offered Bauer a $ 105 million contract but also for three years, the Californian he refused and chose to accept the Dodgers offer probably due to the proximity of his hometown, North Hollywood, California and Los Angeles, which is about a 30-minute drive away.
The only difference between the two offers is that the Mets only guaranteed him $ 75 million in his first two seasons before a contract clause – 10 million less than what the Dodgers were offering.
In this way, Trevor Bauer will join a rotation that will go from being very good, to a really scary and strong one, maybe the strongest in the major leagues.
