The Los Angeles Dodgers have reached a multi-year, multi-million-dollar agreement with Blake Snell, who will join the team for the 2025 MLB season. The left-handed pitcher, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, signed a five-year, $182 million deal, including a $52 million signing bonus. After a challenging 2024 with the San Francisco Giants, where he battled injuries, Snell ended the season with the best ERA in Major League Baseball (1.82) and his first no-hitter. Starting in 2025, Snell will play for his third National League West team, having previously pitched for Tampa Bay and San Francisco.  Also of interest: Dodgers extend Tommy Edman’s contract   Foto de portada: X(@Dodgers)

The Diablos Rojos del México announced via their social media that they are beginning the process to list their shares on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), a groundbreaking move for a baseball team in Mexico. While this step does not involve an initial public offering (IPO), it marks a significant move towards a new era of transparency and economic participation in sports. The BMV has highlighted this move as an important step towards reaching the “Major Leagues” of the financial world. As the reigning champions of the LMB, the Diablos Rojos become the first baseball team to seek to be listed on the BMV, a move only rivaled by the Club América’s similar step earlier this year.  You might also like: Diablos Rojos and Halcones de Xalapa are ready for the big LNBP final   Foto de portada: Pablo Martínez
