The Los Angeles Dodgers significantly invested in their bullpen by signing Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates, and re-signing Blake Treinen, hoping to enhance their chances for consecutive World Series victories. However, all three have faced challenges this season, leading the Dodgers to seek more relief pitching as the trade deadline approaches. Factors impacting their performance include Treinen's injury and general inconsistencies. They lead the league in bullpen innings while also expecting several key pitchers to return. Manager Dave Roberts is concerned about reliance on the bullpen for success.
"After investing a combined $107 million in free-agent relievers Tanner Scott, Blake Treinen and Kirby Yates, the Dodgers are expected to pursue bullpen help, according to sources briefed on the team's plans."
"Given the state of their bullpen, the Dodgers reportedly are in the market for relief pitching as the MLB trade deadline draws near, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic."
"Needing to heavily rely on the bullpen was an early concern this year for manager Dave Roberts. Relief could be on the horizon with Tyler Glasnow now back in the rotation, and Blake Snell and Treinen on respective rehab assignments."
