The New York Mets, who were viewed as the favorites all along (especially in the last couple of days) lost the Trevor Bauer sweepstakes, as the free agent right-handed pitcher decided to join the Los Angeles Dodgers, reigning World Series champions, in a three-year contract.
MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reported via Twitter that Trevor Bauer will get $102M for three years from Dodgers, citing a source. He has opt outs after each of the first two years; $40M in 2021, $45M in 2022. He’ll be the highest-paid player in MLB history in ’21, then again in ’22.
