Reports: Dodgers agree to re-sign Kenley Jansen to a 5-year, $80 million deal

The Los Angeles Dodgers have retained their All-Star closer, agreeing to sign Kenley Jansen to a five-year, $80 million deal, according to multiple reports.

Armed with a devastating cutter, Jansen was one of the National League’s top relievers the last five seasons with the Dodgers, averaging 36 saves, a 2.22 ERA and 13.6 strikeouts per nine innings in that span.

The Marlins were intent on signing Jansen after losing out on Aroldis Chapman, who accepted a five-year, $86 million offer to return to the New York Yankees, but ultimately lost out to the Dodgers..

The Dodgers have now retained two of their top three free agents this offseason -- they re-signed Rich Hill during the winter meetings last week to a three-year, $48 million contract. The Dodgers now will turn their sights to free agent third baseman Justin Turner.

Jansen is the third closer this offseason to sign for more than $50 million, previously the largest figure earned by a reliever. In addition to Chapman, Mark Melancon eclipsed that mark when he agreed to a four-year, $62 million deal with the San Francisco Giants on Monday.
