Despite the scheduled start of 2021 Spring Training only a few weeks away, Trevor Bauer, Nelson Cruz, J.T. Realmuto, Marcell Ozuna and Justin Turner remain among the notable free agents who are still unsigned.
Early into the offseason Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman identified the bullpen and a right-handed hitting position player as focal points this winter. The team has addressed their group of relief pitchers and been linked to the likes of Ozuna, Marcus Semien and Turner.
Most recently the Dodgers were said to be monitoring the market for Bauer. Their interest — just like with Bryce Harper — presumably is based on the possibility of signing the right-hander to a short-term contract with a high average annual value.
