The Los Angeles Dodgers made the first big splash of MLB free agency, poaching All-Star starting pitcher Blake Snell from the San Francisco Giants and beating out the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox in a bidding war.

Indeed, the Dodgers have become such a desirable location that players are structuring contracts to ensure the team remains one. Shohei Ohtani famously took a salary of $2 million annually while deferring the rest of the biggest contract in the history of North American sports.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly agreed to terms on a five-year, $182 million contract with former San Francisco Giants ace Blake Snell.
