Blake Treinen Signs Two-Year Deal with Dodgers

Blake Treinen has agreed to a two-year, $22 million contract to remain with the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking his continued presence on the team following a successful 2024 season. Treinen, who posted a 1.93 ERA with 56 strikeouts in 46⅔ innings, has been instrumental in the Dodgers' bullpen, playing a high-leverage setup role. Despite his recent success, the Dodgers are still looking to strengthen their bullpen further, with eyes on free agent Tanner Scott and Brewers' closer Devin Williams. Treinen's contribution to the Dodgers' World Series win included a pivotal 42-pitch outing in Game 5 against the Yankees. His return is part of the Dodgers' active offseason, which also saw them signing Blake Snell and extending Tommy Edman. Treinen's career includes a notable stint with the Oakland Athletics, where he served as a closer, recording 38 saves in 2018.
