Left-handed pitcher Blake Snell is under contract with the Dodgers.

The former Giants starter agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract. The Post’s John Heyman confirmed this.

The deal is still pending and Snell will receive a $52 million signing bonus, according to Heyman.

The deal with the Dodgers includes “some” deferred money, The Athletic reported.

The Dodgers rotation will feature the left-hander along with a presumably healthy Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, Clayton Kershaw, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin and Bobby Miller, and LA is the favorite to sign Roki Sasaki, Heyman reported.

It is believed that one of the teams the Dodgers defeated because of Snell’s services was the Red Sox.

The former Cy Young winner is coming off a season in which he went 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA in 20 starts for San Francisco.

Snell struck out 145 batters in 104 innings pitched and managed to turn things around in the second half of the season after starting the year slowly due to injury.

The left-hander had a 9.51 ERA in six starts through July with the Giant.

He returned from an IL stint in early July and posted a 1.23 ERA in his final 14 starts of the season.

Snell entered the offseason as one of the best free agent armies on the market.
