The baseball world bursts with ridiculous reactions to Blake Snell’s Dodgers trade
The Los Angeles Dodgers are not resting on their laurels after winning the 2024 World Series just a month ago; they have reportedly agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract with left-handed starting pitcher Blake Snell, with the rich getting richer as they prepare for another deep playoff run in 2025.
Fans can’t believe how much more financially adept the Dodgers are than the rest of the MLB, as they’re completing deals of this magnitude so early in free agency. And with Tyler Glasnow and Yoshinobu Yamamoto already leading the rotation, not to mention Shohei Ohtani’s probable return to the mound, the Dodgers are once again shaping up to be the team to beat in 2025 — and fans are outraged.
“Bring me a salary cap. This is ridiculous,” X user @MrAzSports wrote.
“Dodgers playing with Monopoly money – this is ridiculous,” @JoshReynolds24 remarked.
While the majority of MLB fans are outraged by this situation, Dodgers fans argued that the team was in desperate need of another quality starting pitcher at the top of the rotation after being hit by injuries in unprecedented numbers previous year.
“But I thought dodgers said that they need a starting pitcher so the signing of one of Fried, Burnes and Snell for dodgers is so predictable why everyone overreact sm lmao,” @bluejecorn explained.
