"More broadly, they need trusted arms late in games, particularly right-handed ones. Brusdar Graterol (coming off shoulder surgery), Blake Treinen (37 and coming off a rough year), Edgardo Henriquez and Will Klein (hard throwers with command issues) are the incumbents there, and they all have questions. So look for the Dodgers to be really aggressive in that space, either through free agency or via trade, or both."
"The Dodgers invested in a closer last season, signing Tanner Scott to a four-year, $72 million contract after the World Series. Scott didn't quite have the season the Dodgers would have liked, posting a 4.74 ERA through 61 appearances and blowing 10 save opportunities over the course of the season. Their bullpen as a whole ranked in the bottom 10 teams across MLB in terms of ERA, posting a 4.27 ERA during the regular season."
The Dodgers enter the offseason with a primary need for a reliable closer and improved late-inning bullpen depth, especially right-handed relievers. Tanner Scott, signed to a four-year, $72 million deal last offseason, struggled with a 4.74 ERA in 61 appearances and 10 blown saves. The overall bullpen posted a 4.27 ERA, ranking among the bottom 10 in MLB. Incumbent late-inning options — including Brusdar Graterol, Blake Treinen, Edgardo Henriquez and Will Klein — carry health, age or command concerns. The team is likely to pursue solutions via free agency, trade, or both, with top targets including Edwin Diaz and Robert Suarez.
