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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a surprise offseason move by signing All-Star reliever Kirby Yates Tuesday morning, according to reports.

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.
