A first-round draft pick by Tampa Bay in 2011, Snell has a 77-58 career record with a 3.18 ERA in 213 career starts with the Rays (2016-20), San Diego Padres (2021-23), San Francisco Giants (2024) and Dodgers.
Sauer, 26, posted a 7.71 in 14 relief appearances last season with the Kansas City Royals.
