The Los Angeles Dodgers aren't resting on their laurels after beating the New York Yankees in the World Series, especially when it comes to bolstering the pitching staff. After adding Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki to the rotation, and Tanner Scott to the bullpen, the Dodgers have added another talented pitcher: veteran righty reliever Kirby Yates.

A week after his upcoming deal was first reported, Yates has reached a one-year deal with Los Angeles, per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. He'll be paid $13 million with a potential $1 million bonus if he reached 55 appearances, per ESPN's Jeff Passan.
