The Dodgers have been putting together one of the best teams the MLB has ever seen this off-season with numerous additions such as Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, Tanner Scott and now Yates too.
The Dodgers have agreed to a deal with Yates but the terms and amount given in the contract have yet to be announced as the deal is pending a physical which has yet to be done.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, who already have folks screaming about their payroll, have reached a tentative agreement with free-agent closer Kirby Yates, pending a physical. The deal comes on the heels of signing Tanner Scott to a 4-year, $72 million contract.
