Dodgers RHP Brusdar Graterol is entering an important year in 2023. For the first time since he joined the Dodgers in 2020, there’s an opening in the back of the bullpen. Kenley Jansen is gone; so, too is Craig Kimbrel. The Dodgers need a closer, and Graterol can be that guy.
Thus far in spring, Graterol has been electric for the Dodgers. He’s made five appearances, all scoreless, allowing just five hits and zero walks while striking out four. Graterol has looked as good as ever early in spring, which is why he’s been the talk of the Dodgers clubhouse.
