Kirby Yates will apparently have a new baseball home in 2025. The All-Star closer last season for the Texas Rangers is in “serious negotiations” with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to reports from The Athletic and other outlets on Tuesday.

The Dodgers had already added a plethora of pieces to their championship squad and established themselves as super-team villains — in part by convincing players to agree to deferred money in their contracts, a trend popularized last year by Shohei Ohtani, whose $700 million contract includes $680 million in deferrals.

Kirby Yates is joining the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen just two days after the club went out and signed another All-Star closer in Tanner Scott.
