"Much of the offseason talk surrounding the Dodgers has been about the aim to improve the bullpen. There's a real need to add multiple high-leverage arms from the right side. With Kirby Yates and Michael Kopech leaving for free agency, Blake Treinen aging, and Evan Phillips suddenly no longer with the ballclub, there's no secret the team needs help in this specific area."
"More news: Cody Bellinger Would Welcome Return to Dodgers, Says Agent Andy McCullough of The Athletic had spent several years of his career covering the Dodgers. He's very dialed into the team's ecosystem. McCullough recently wrote an article in which he listed one free agent for each franchise as a 'Black Friday' deal. When it came to the Boys in Blue, San Diego Padres closer Robert Suarez ended up being his top choice."
The Dodgers need to improve their bullpen, prioritizing right-handed, high-leverage arms. Kirby Yates and Michael Kopech departed in free agency, Blake Treinen is aging, and Evan Phillips is no longer with the club, creating late-inning vacancies. The team prefers to get younger around the diamond but faces difficulty accomplishing that through free agency. Robert Suárez emerges as a possible target with 76 saves over the last two years and a fastball that ranks in the 97th percentile. Suárez may cost less and for fewer years than Edwin Díaz, offering a reasonable upgrade without a long-term commitment.
