2:18 pm : Vanasco will make a salary of $900K in 2024, per . 11:43 am : The Dodgers announced Thursday that theyve re-signed right-hander to a one-year, Isaac Okoro Jersey major league contract. Hed previously been outrighted and elected minor league free agency, but hell now return to the organization and secure a spot on the 40-man roster for the winter. Los Angeles now has 39 players on its 40-man roster. The 25-year-old Vanasco has spent the vast majority of his career in the Rangers organization, but the on June 1 after Texas had designated the former 15th-round pick for a signment. Once regarded as one of the more promising pitchers in the Rangers system, his career has been slowed by repeated health troubles. Vanasco posted an outstanding 1.81 ERA in 11 starts back in 2019 but didnt pitch in 2020 due to the canceled minor league season, underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 and spent significant time on the minor league injured list in 2023 as well. When healthy, however, Vanasco pitched quite well in the Dodgers system. In fact, after being removed from the teams 40-man roster, Vanasco logged 28 innings betweeen Double-A and Triple-A while pitching to a pristine 0.64 ERA with a 42-to-10 K/BB ratio (36.5% strikeout rate, 8.7% walk rate). That showing was apparently enough for the Dodgers to offer up a big league deal in order to keep him in the system. Although he has not yet made his big league debut, Vanasco spent the past two seasons on the 40-man roster in Texas and Los Angeles, which required him to be optioned at the end of spring training. As such, hes exhausted two option years already. He still has an option remaining, and given his minor league injury history its po sible he could eventually qualify for a fourth option year. For now, hell head to spring training healthy and perhaps on the verge of finally making his big league debut. Matt Mooney Jersey
