Blake Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, has signed a lucrative five-year, $182 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. His decision was influenced by the team's success and the presence of three-time MVP Shohei Ohtani.

After a challenging year with the San Francisco Giants, Snell is eager to contribute to the Dodgers' rotation, joining Ohtani and other talented pitchers. He aims to establish himself further in Los Angeles, where he feels a strong connection.
