The Dodgers have re-signed right-handed reliever Blake Treinen to a two-year, $17MM guarantee that includes an $8MM club option or a $1MM buyout for 2023, Bob Nightengale of USA Today was among those to report. Treinen is a client of Apex Baseball.
Treinen was something of a buy-low pickup for the Dodgers last season, though they did have to guarantee the former Athletics standout $10MM. The move paid off handsomely for the World Series-winning Dodgers, who got 25 2/3 innings of 3.86 ERA ball with a 20.6 percent strikeout rate, 7.5 percent walk rate, and a tremendous percent 64 percent groundball rate from Treinen. The 32-year-old continued to average upward of 97 mph on his fastball along the way.

1. Walt Davis Posted: January 05, 2021 at 09:53 PM (#5997627)Boy that 2018 was pretty amazing though -- 80 IP (big for a modern reliever), 9-2 with 38 saves, 0.78 ERA, 1.82 FIP, 531 ERA+.
So he was a low buy and now they're giving him a pay cut. Now bring back Turner so you can call it an offseason.
