Blake Treinen had a strange couple years. After an historically dominant 2018, he crashed back to earth hard last year. Typical volatile reliever, but to the extreme. Playing for the low-budget A's and entering his final year of arbitration, the A's decided not to pay him a projected 7.8 mil and non-tendered him. Usually when guys get non-tendered (released), their best bet is to land elsewhere with a deal around what their projected arb. would have been, but probably a little less.
The Dodgers gave Treinen 1 year 10 mil guaranteed today.....
Dodgers gonna dodge. At least its not a machine gun kelly multi-year pact.
