The Los Angeles Dodgers roster is well-constructed with starting pitchers returning and a high-scoring lineup. Andrew Friedman is expected to target fringe moves, particularly for a right-handed reliever, to complement a left-heavy bullpen. Bob Nightengale reports that the Dodgers are interested in Rays closer Pete Fairbanks, who offers versatility and a favorable contract situation. Fairbanks has a 2.53 ERA and ranks highly in analytics, indicating he could be a valuable addition to the late innings of the game.
The Dodgers are always looking for bullpen help and would like another late-inning reliever like Rays closer Pete Fairbanks.
Fairbanks would be a massive addition to this bullpen. The 31-year-old has a club option for only $7 million next year.
On the year, Fairbanks ranks in the 100th percentile across baseball in barrel percentage. Hitters are only barreling Fairbanks' pitches 1.1% of the time.
Fairbanks also ranks in the 89th percentile in xERA for good measure.
