Heading into the offseason, one of the biggest areas the Los Angeles Dodgers needed to address was their bullpen and pitching depth.
There are many big-name relievers on the free-agent market such as, Craig Kimbrel, Andrew Miller, Zach Britton, Adam Ottavino and others, but if recent history tells us anything, the Dodgers will not spend big on a relief pitcher.
The Dodgers front office is known for making smaller-type signings and trades, and having relievers come out of nowhere to get big outs, a la Brandon Morrow and Joe Blanton.
It appears they may be at it again as according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Los Angeles reportedly signed former San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds reliever Kevin Quackenbush to a Minor League contract:
The soon-to-be 30-year-old had a rough 2018 season with the Reds, appearing in just 10 Major League games.
