"The Los Angeles Dodgers invested heavily into their bullpen last offseason, signing Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates, who were widely considered the top-two relievers available on the free agent market and across baseball overall. Despite their additions, the bullpen was a major issue for the Dodgers throughout the season, both due to injuries and players underperforming. Scott, Yates, Michael Kopech, Brusdar Graterol, Evan Phillips, Brock Stewart and Blake Treinen all missed time due to injuries."
"Of that group, Díaz would be the biggest investment, but also figures to make the highest impact as one of the top-three closers in baseball. He is reportedly looking for a deal similar to what he signed for last time, five-years and $102 million. But Díaz is entering his age-32 season and teams may be hesitant to offer five years to him."
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates last offseason to strengthen the bullpen. Injuries and underperformance left the bullpen a major problem, with Scott, Yates, Michael Kopech, Brusdar Graterol, Evan Phillips, Brock Stewart and Blake Treinen all missing time; only Treinen pitched in the postseason. The team seeks at least one high-leverage right-handed reliever and has been linked to Devin Williams, Pete Fairbanks, Edwin Díaz, Robert Suárez, Raisel Iglesias, Ryan Helsley, Kenley Jansen and Kyle Finnegan. The Dodgers will explore free agency and trades while expecting some 40-man roster arms and younger pitchers to help.
