Via MLB Trade Rumors: For the second time this month, the Dodgers have made a record-setting free agent strike. Los Angeles is reportedly in agreement with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on a 12-year, $325MM contract. The deal, which is pending a physical, includes a $50MM signing bonus for the Wasserman client and does not contain any deferred money. It comes with a near-$51MM posting fee to the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball, bringing the overall commitment north of $375MM. Yamamoto’s opt-outs are after the 2029 and 2031 seasons, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. While the contract doesn’t contain any deferrals, it is backloaded in nature, as is common with long-term deals. Yamamoto, then, would be leaving the highest salaries of his contract on the table if he opts out and reenters free agency 📝
