If it weren’t for Paul Skenes, Sánchez likely would have been the NL’s Cy Young frontrunner.

Ever since breaking into the majors in 2016, and winning his first Cy Young Award with an immaculate 21-win, 1.89-ERA season two years later, Snell’s raw talent has never been in question.

In 2023, he won another Cy Young by going 14-9 with a 2.25 ERA, averaging close to six innings per start despite a major-league-leading 99 walks.

After being limited by injuries for much of the past three seasons — including missing all of last year’s World Series run with toe and knee injuries that ultimately required offseason surgery — the three-time Cy Young Award winner decided to return to the Dodgers this season for one last crack at a championship chase.

The 2024 American League Cy Young Award winner later told reporters it was “really tough” to see Fry like that.
