Blake Treinen ‘Not Worried’ About Role In Dodgers Bullpen; Excited To Throw ‘Meaningful Innings’

It is no secret the Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen was their biggest flaw in 2019, so president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has already made it a point to improve that unit this winter.

He did so by signing former Oakland Athletics right-hander Blake Treinen to a one-year, $10 million contract, which recently became official after being agreed upon during the Winter Meetings.

Treinen was one of the best bullpen arms in all of baseball in 2018, posting a 0.87 ERA, 1.82 FIP and 0.83 WHIP with 100 strikeouts and only 21 walks in 80.
