It’s been a long time since the Dodgers have had a highly paid bullpen. But the combination of guys that they currently have out there is a reminder that Los Angeles can spread the money around in hopes of finding the right pieces.
As of now, there are realistically at least 12 guys looking to compete for a spot in the Dodgers bullpen. Tommy Kahnle and Caleb Ferguson are both recovering from Tommy John surgery, so don’t include them in that number.
After the signing of Blake Treinen, the Dodgers bullpen is now worth right around $45 million, and that’s not counting the pre-arbitration guys that will get paid league minimum.
