At the end of a free agency that was occasionally transparent and with hints of carnival barker, Trevor Bauer on Friday reportedly came to terms on a three-year, $102 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports the deal, which pays Bauer $40 million in 2021 and $45 million in 2022, will make him the highest-paid player in MLB.
The deal reportedly includes opt-outs after the first and second seasons.
Jon Heyman first reported the agreement. The deal is contingent upon Bauer passing a physical.
