The Dodgers are making a statement this offseason, and their reunion with Blake Treinen for $22 million is just another piece of the puzzle. Is this a smart move for LA? Treinen’s shown flashes of brilliance, especially in the postseason, but his injury history raises concerns. Is he worth the investment considering his age and recent health issues?

With Snell and Edman already locked in, and a payroll projected to exceed $265 million, are the Dodgers simply throwing money at the problem, or are they building a dynasty? Is this aggressive spending sustainable, or will it backfire down the road? What does this mean for the rest of the National League, especially considering their rivals' moves?

Treinen’s heroic Game 5 World Series performance definitely sticks in everyone’s minds. But is that enough to justify this contract? How much weight should teams put on postseason performance when making these decisions? Is it about sentimentality, or sound investment?

Let’s hear your thoughts. Are the Dodgers setting themselves up for another championship run, or are they playing with fire?
