The Los Angeles Dodgers face a pressing need for back-end relievers and possibly a left fielder prior to the trade deadline. With a bullpen ERA of 4.38, tied for seventh-highest in MLB, the team is actively seeking improvements. Injuries have left their strongest relievers unable to perform, increasing the urgency for depth. Potential trade options include Jhoan Durán of the Twins, who has a 1.66 ERA, as well as other prominent relievers such as Pete Fairbanks and Felix Bautista.
The Dodgers are tied with the Philadelphia Phillies for the seventh-highest bullpen ERA (4.38) in MLB and will be aggressively searching for relievers at the deadline.
The Dodgers expected Tanner Scott, who signed a four-year, $72 million deal in January, to be the team's closer. However, he has posted a 4.09 ERA, his highest in the last two seasons.
Los Angeles' strongest relievers are sidelined with injuries, contributing to their need for more depth in the bullpen as they aim for a back-to-back World Series title.
Linked to Minnesota Twins reliever Jhoan Durán, who has logged a 1.66 ERA in 43.1 innings, and other potential trade targets including Pete Fairbanks and Felix Bautista.
