Report: Yoshinobu Yamamoto to sign with LA Dodgers

Before the Dodgers landed him, the Mets presented Yoshinobu Yamamoto with an offer of $325 million for 12 years, which Los Angeles matched, a league sources told @TheAthletic. @martinonyc was first on dollars from Mets; @JeffPassan first with LA terms.

I would like to thank the New York Yankees for the last two years. I will forever be grateful to @SBriend97 for all that he has taught me and for the opportunities he provided me the last two years. The future of that organization in pitching is in great hands.
