"New Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Edwin Diaz was unveiled less than a week ago. However, he has already been named the closer for the upcoming season by the president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman. The Dodgers have clear bullpen issues heading into the upcoming season, and a hole at the closer spot, making it a no-doubt proposition that he will take the ball to close out games."
"In other news, Tyler Glasnow, in a recent interview, spoke about the trade rumors that linked him to a trade package for ace Tarik Skubal. As an older, more expensive arm, Glasnow could free up money for an extension while giving the Dodgers the chance to move on from an injury-prone arm, though the righty dumped cold water on that idea."
Edwin Diaz joined the Los Angeles Dodgers less than a week ago and was promptly named the team's closer by president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. The Dodgers enter the season with bullpen issues and a clear vacancy at the closer role, making Diaz the likely late-inning option. Tyler Glasnow addressed trade rumors linking him to a package for Tarik Skubal, with speculation that trading Glasnow could free salary and reduce injury risk, but Glasnow dismissed that possibility. Former Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips was non-tendered and has been connected to a move away from the organization. Additional headlines note signings, contract details, fan condolences, team communications, and a new team app.
