Closer Edwin Díaz's deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers is for three years and $69 million, sources tell ESPN. The Dodgers, who were targeting bullpen help this winter, got the best closer on the market, setting a new AAV record for relievers.
FINAL: Dodgers 5, Blue Jays 4
The Los Angeles Dodgers won their second consecutive World Series, taking one of the greatest series ever with a Will Smith home run in the 11th inning. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, pitching on no days’ rest, finished the game and earned the win.
A dynasty.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.

FINAL: Dodgers 5, Brewers 1
The Los Angeles Dodgers sweep their way to the World Series thanks to Shohei Ohtani turning in arguably the greatest game ever played by a big leaguer. He hit three massive home runs and threw six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts. A tour de force.
