Sources: Shaker grad Kahnle to Dodgers
NEW YORK — The Los Angeles Dodgers and right-handed reliever Tommy Kahnle have agreed to a $4.75 million, twoyear deal, according to a person familiar with the contract.
The person spoke to The
Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. The Athletic and other outlets also reported the agreement.
Kahnle could earn up to $500,000 in performance bonuses.
Kahnle, a graduate of Shaker High School, threw just one inning for the Yankees in 2020 before having season-ending Tommy John surgery in August, and the 31-year-old is unlikely to pitch next season.
Los Angeles is hoping he can return to form in 2022.
Kahnle had a 3.67 ERA in 72 games for New York in 2019, striking out 88 in 611⁄
3 innings.
