One week into 2021, the Dodgers’ offseason transactions have so far focused on the bullpen. They’ve officially added five relievers to their 40-man roster. Blake Treinen and Scott Alexander were re-signed. Corey Knebel and Garrett Cleavinger were acquired in trades. Tommy Kahnle was signed to a two-year deal.
Knebel could help sturdy the bridge to the ninth inning. Alexander and Cleavinger give the Dodgers left-handed depth. Kahnle was added for 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August. None are expected to close games, at least not yet.
