Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto Signing Named Top MLB Christmas Week Move
"Yamamoto's time with the Dodgers has been extremely successful, and he has propelled himself into Cy Young conversations after just two years in MLB. Despite missing some time due to injury in 2024, Yamamoto still posted a solid 3.00 ERA through 18 starts, striking out 105 batters through 90 innings pitched. He held together a hobbled rotation in the postseason, making four starts and posting a 3.86 ERA as the Dodgers went on to win the World Series."
"The right-hander got even better during his age-26 season in 2025, making 30 starts and posting a 2.49 ERA. He eclipsed 200 strikeouts for the first time in his MLB career, and also received his first All-Star selection. He placed third in the NL Cy Young vote behind Paul Skenes and Cristopher Sanchez."
