Dodgers Targeting Late-Inning Reliever as Trade Deadline Nears

There aren’t many holes within the current construction of the Los Angeles Dodgers roster.

With a host of starting pitchers expected back, coupled with the lineup scoring runs at a very high clip, one would assume Andrew Friedman to work on the fringes rather than aim to trade for a major name.

With a bullpen heavily reliant upon lefties, it would make sense for Friedman and the front office to procure a right-handed reliever — and preferably one that has versatility in closing and functioning as a high-leverage piece.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today is as dialed in as anyone to the constant fluctuations of the MLB trade market.
