Dodgers’ Blake Snell deal pushes franchise’s deferred cash total toward $1 billion
NY Post
The Dodgers are at it again.
The reigning World Series champions signed two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell to a five-year, $182 million contract.
Like their blockbuster free agency deal with Shohei Ohtani last winter, Snell’s contract includes deferred money – $60 million, to be exact, nearly one-third of the entire pact.
The Snell contract brings the franchise’s deferred compensation ledger to nearly $1 billion – $962 million – far outpacing the rest of the league and infuriating fans of the 29 other teams.
Ohtani is deferring $680 million of his record-breaking $700 million contract.
In 2020, Mookie Betts signed a 12-year, $365 million deal with the Dodgers that included $115 million in deferrals.
