The U.S. media including the Major League website MLB.com will be released on the 29th (Korea time)Juss signed a one-year contract with Yates for a total of $13 million (about 18.7 billion won). It included an option to receive $500,000 (about 700 million won) for more than 50 games and an additional $500,000 for more than 55 games,' the report said.
It's a surprising move. The Dodgers successfully signed Roki Sasaki, who was the pitcher's biggest fish this winter. Sasaki was under the age of 25 and was classified as an international amateur player rather than a general FA under the U.S.-Japan professional baseball agreement, so he had to sign a minor league contract. The Dodgers succeeded in reinforcing the starting rotation by recruiting Sasaki cheaply with a down payment of $6.5 million (about 9.3 billion won).
A coveted player is never missed. Ahead of last season, the Dodgers signed world-renowned superstar Shohei Ohtani for 10 years and $700 million (about 1.101 trillion won), and even Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who was the pitcher's biggest fish, signed for $325 million (about 468.9 billion won) for 12 years, surprising major league officials. They are continuing their relentless moves by acquiring ace pitcher Tyler Glasnow in a trade and tying him to an extended contract, and acquiring outfielder Teoscar Hernandez and infielder Kim Hye-sung this winter.
MLB.com said 'The Dodgers are building the strongest bullpen for the strongest team. The recruitment of Yates came after signing a contract with Tanner Scott, a top left-handed bullpen. Blake Treinen, Michael Kopech, Evan Phillips and Alex Vesia are holding out in the Dodgers bullpen. The Dodgers peaked in a wild offseason when they acquired Yates and Scott.

The Dodgers were not satisfied with Scott's recruitment and even embraced Yates, complementing the bullpen satisfactorily. Yates showed off his old age last year when he played for the Texas Rangers by playing 61 games, 7-2 with 33 saves, 2 holds, 61 ⅔ innings and an ERA of 1.17. The overall performance of the big league is 422 games, 26 wins, 95 saves, 52 holds, 411 ⅓ innings, and an ERA of 3.17.
MLB.com added 'The Dodgers acquired two All-Star finishers in a matter of days. Yates had his best season with a 1.17 ERA in 61 games last year and could be selected as the second All-Star in his career. The past 10 years that Yates has spent in the big leagues have been very interesting. As soon as he turned 30, he was a journeyman reliever until he transferred to the San Diego Padres after receiving a waver claim. With that, he became one of the best strikeouts in the league as he honed and improved his splitter. Yates had four outstanding seasons with San Diego, but had Tommy John surgery in 2021 and missed most of that year and the following season. "He enjoyed a renaissance in his mid-30s when he signed with the Atlanta Braves, had a solid season in 2023 and had an overwhelming performance in Texas last year'
The Dodgers are not satisfied with winning the World Series last year and are constantly strengthening their power. MLB.com says it has been 25 years since there has been no World Series winner for two consecutive years. The Dodgers set a clear goal of ending the drought and continue to move.
