As the Los Angeles Dodgers have opened up the largest divisional lead across MLB this season and boast the best overall record, one glaring weakness has been their bullpen.
The signing of Joe Kelly to a three-year, $25 million contract over the winter has yet to pan out, and other relief pitchers have struggled with consistency. The unit has had its bright moments and stretches, but as a whole could stand to be upgraded.
Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman recently acknowledged as much and said he would aggressively pursue potential deals prior to the July 31 trade deadline.
