Jeff Passan's 'perfect' offseason move for LA Dodgers ignores elephant in the room

The Dodgers have a relatively short to-do list this offseason, but the top item is a big one: they need to fix the bullpen. The rotation is full and will actually have excess arms next year if River Ryan and Gavin Stone are ready to go by spring training and the majority of LA's position players are on long-term deals. The bench could use a few upgrades, and the Dodgers are definitely going to be talking to Kyle Tucker, but the bullpen is the most immediate need.

Tanner Scott and Blake Treinen's contracts are two of the biggest blights on the Dodgers' payroll.
