The Los Angeles Dodgers have been linked to a host of names recently as possible reinforcements for the team’s oft-injured pitching rotation.
A name recently mentioned, courtesy of ESPN writers Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel, is Kansas City Royals pitcher Seth Lugo.
The writer-reporter duo pegged Lugo’s probability in being moved at approximately 40 percent. Along with the Dodgers, other potential fits include the Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, San Diego Padres, and Toronto Blue Jays.
“Lugo has posted mid-3.00s or lower ERAs for five seasons despite having below-average fastball velocity and good-not-great strikeout rates.
