The Dodgers re-signed right-handed reliever Blake Trains up to a $ 17.5 million two-year warranty that includes a $ 8 million club option or a $ 1.5 million buyout for 2023, Bob Nightengale from USA Today was among those to sign up. Trains is a customer of Apex Baseball. MLBTR predicted that it would receive a $ 14.5 million two-year guarantee at the start of the off-season.
Trains were a cheap pickup for the Dodgers last winter, though they had to guarantee the former Athletics outstanding $ 10 million. While then playing a disappointing season in Oakland, the move paid off well for the World Series Dodgers, who got 25 2/3 overs of 3.86 ERA ball with a 20.6 percent pass rate, 7, 5 percent walk, and a whopping 64 percent baseball figure from Trains. The 32-year-old man rose an average of 97 km / h on his fast-moving ball on the road.
By setting aside his expenses in 2019, Trains was one of the most productive lighteners of the game during his career. Trains hit a total of 3.02 ERA with a 23.3 knockout percentage and a 9.4 percentage speed in 425 2/3 major league innings. At best, Treinen – also a former National – gave the A’s 80 1/3 frames of 0.78 ERA ball in 2018. While Treinen does have 72 savings on his resume, he has so far served as a setup man for the Dodgers, who continue to rely on Kenley Jansen as their answer to the game.
Trains will have to continue working as a bridge to Jansen in 2021, and the Dodgers will have a formidable bullshit beyond the two. The Dodgers Auxiliary Corps ended the 2020 campaign with a National League-best 2.74 ERA, though Jake McGee has become an excellent year and is now a free agent, they added the former All-Star Corey Knebel earlier this season.
