According to ESPN, "The Dodgers are now on the hook for $1,064,500,000 through 2047, owed to Edwin Díaz, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Blake Snell, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Tommy Edman, Tanner Scott and Teoscar Hernández." The Dodgers signed Díaz to a three-year, $69 million deal this winter, with deferred payments between 2036-47.

Given the Dodgers’ stockpile of potential trade assets and aggressive acquisition of talent, maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise that the team has been linked to a potential deal to acquire the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers.
