MLB fans insisted that 29 teams should withdraw from MLB and create their own leagues after the Dodgers signed Tanner Scott for four years and $72 million.메이저놀이터
However, the Dodgers continue to recruit elite players regardless.
USA Today's Bob Nightingale said on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) that the Dodgers tentatively agreed to sign Kirby Yates.
The Dodgers initially chose Scott after weighing Scott and Yates. If Scott failed to recruit Scott, they would have brought in Yates.
But they recruited both of them.
After Scott's contract, Los Angeles Times' Jack Harris said, "The Dodgers sought several options for Yates, but Scott was the top priority."
Yates is one of the best bullpen pitchers of 2024. He pitched in 61 games for the Texas Rangers, recording a 7-2-33 save and two hold ERA of 1.17. He made 41 saves in 2019.
The fact that he is 37 years old is a bit of a concern, but the Dodgers are also expected to play their part as closer pitchers.
The Dodgers signed Michael Confoto, Blake Snell, Kim Hye-sung, Sasaki Rocky, Scott and Yates this offseason. They re-signed Teoscar Hernandez.
Since last year, he has strengthened his batting, starting pitching staff, and bullpen more.
