"Williams fits the bill perfectly. He's highly experienced from his time with the Milwaukee Brewers and the New York Yankees. While his ERA from this past season may scare some people away, a deep dive into his analytics detail a dominant pitcher, particularly in the second half of the season. William limits hard contact and is elite in garnering strikeouts."
"This is also a huge point of emphasis for the front office. Whether it be through free agency (less likely) or the trade market (more likely), the Dodgers need to address one of their starting outfield positions. Cody Bellinger, Harrison Bader, and Kyle Tucker are the free agent names most available as possible fits, whereas the trade market may net the Dodgers one of Lars Nootbar, Steven Kwan, Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu, or another name."
The Dodgers should pursue a three-pronged plan to improve chances for a three-peat. Sign Devin Williams to provide a right-handed closing option, leveraging his second-half dominance, strikeout ability, and lower projected cost compared with top-tier free agents. Add an impact outfielder via trade or free agency to upgrade a starting outfield spot and improve lineup balance. Target options include Cody Bellinger, Harrison Bader, Kyle Tucker, or trade candidates like Lars Nootbar, Steven Kwan, Jarren Duran, or Wilyer Abreu. Leverage a deep farm system to acquire starter-level outfield talent while balancing bullpen composition against many projected left-handed relievers.
