Dodgers News: LA Signs Blake Treinen to Contract Extension

Nobody expected Max Muncy to make a game-ending error on Sunday, nor did anyone expect contract extension news. The Dodgers, who are notorious for working behind the scenes, announced a contract extension for reliever Blake Treinen shortly after losing in extra-innings on Sunday in Philadelphia.

The Dodgers signed Treinen to a one-year extension that will keep him in LA through the 2023 season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed on a 1-year contract extension with RHP Blake Treinen for the 2023 season.

Prior to the extension, Treinen had a club option for that season that was worth $8M. According to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya, the extension is worth that same amount.

Blake Treinen's extension with the Dodgers, a source told The Athletic, picks up his 2023 option (worth $8 million) and adds a conditional option for 2024.

As Ardaya notes, the extension appears to include another option for 2024. At this time, it's not known whether or not it's a player or club option.

At the moment, Treinen is on the 60-day IL with a shoulder injury. Safe to say, he won't be pitching for the Dodgers anytime soon.

Treinen has been with the Dodgers since the 2020 season. In his Dodgers career, he owns a 2.50 ERA.
