Andrew Friedman: Kenley Jansen Remains Closer, But Dodgers Looking For Late-Inning Bullpen Help

Throughout the course of the 2019 season it was clear that the biggest weakness on the Los Angeles Dodgers roster was their bullpen.

They won a franchise-record 106 games and cruised to a seventh straight National League West title but were defeated by the Washington Nationals in five games in the NL Division Series despite carrying a two-run lead into the eighth inning of the decisive Game 5.

Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman tried to address the bullpen last winter by signing Joe Kelly, but he and Kenley Jansen were both inconsistent for most of the year.
