Yoshinobu Yamamoto is making $325 million. Fortunately for them, they had the honor of sharing a rotation with one of the game’s best all time pitchers in Clayton Kershaw. While he had a solid rookie season — going 7-2 with a 3.00 ERA across 90 innings — he leveled up in Year 2. Yamamoto made 30 starts this season, going 12-8 with a 2.49 ERA and 201 strikeouts across 173.2 innings. He’s going to earn top-three Cy Young votes, and will play a crucial role for LA in their quest to become baseball’s first repeat champion in 25 years.
