The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed All-Star catcher Will Smith to a 10-year, $140 million contract extension, keeping him with the team for the next decade. This deal comes after the Dodgers' significant offseason spending, including a record-breaking $700 million deal with Shohei Ohtani, a 12-year, $325 million deal with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a five-year, $136.5 million deal with Tyler Glasnow, a one-year, $23.5 million deal with Teoscar Hernandez, and a 12-year, $325 million deal with starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Dodgers' spending spree this offseason totals nearly $1.4 billion. Smith's new contract, which includes deferred compensation, is the longest contract ever for a catcher and could keep him with the Dodgers through the 2033 season.
