Contract Value Index (CVI)
The Dodgers' decision to sign reliever Edgardo Henriquez to a $0.8M one-year deal earns a B- CVI, representing solid value acquisition for a bullpen piece. At under a million annually, this is exactly the type of low-risk, high-reward transaction that championship contenders should be making to shore up their relief corps depth. Henriquez profiles as a solid starter-caliber arm who can provide meaningful innings in middle relief or setup situations, offering the Dodgers flexibility as they navigate their competitive window. The short-term commitment is particularly shrewd given the volatility inherent in reliever performance year-to-year, allowing Los Angeles to evaluate his fit within their system without long-term financial exposure. While this isn't a franchise-altering move, it's the kind of smart marginal upgrade that separates well-run organizations from the pack. The modest AAV reflects appropriate market positioning for a pitcher of Henriquez's current standing, though the upside potential makes this a worthwhile gamble for a team with World Series aspirations.
Performance Analysis
Edgardo Henriquez grades as a near-elite performer among MLB relief pitchers, earning a A- Performance grade. He carries a 2.42 ERA (well below the league average of 4.20, placing him among the best in baseball) and a 1.16 WHIP across 22.1 innings pitched with a 9.4 K/9 rate. A 9.4 K/9 rate indicates above-average swing-and-miss stuff. As a sophomore at 23, Edgardo is a key contributor for the Dodgers. With only 25 games on record, this grade carries a smaller sample size caveat.
