The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the offseason with decisions to make on four free agents, including a pair of left-handed starting pitchers in Hyun-Jin Ryu and Rich Hill.
After a career 2019 season in which he posted the lowest ERA among qualified starters, Ryu wound up signing a four-year, $90 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. The Dodgers were reportedly willing to match the length of the pact, but not the average annual salary in which Ryu received.
Hill’s free agency outlook was much more uncertain after undergoing surgery to reattach a torn portion of the UCL in his left elbow.
