MLB Roundup 1/25: A.J. Pollock signs in Los Angeles

We’re still waiting for the Big Two to sign in free agency, but another one of the most talented guys available has found a new home. We’d heard rumors that A.J. Pollock was negotiating with the Dodgers after Los Angeles sent Yasiel Puig to Cincinnati, and now it’s done. The former Diamondbacks All-Star agreed to a five-year deal worth $12 million per year. At least, that’s the luxury tax payment. It’s a bit more complicated than that, as Pollock can opt-out after the third year, will earn $55 million over the four years and can earn an extra $5 million with a fifth-year player option.
