The Athletic&#8217;s Ken Rosenthal has more on Andrew Friedman&#8217;s plan to build a back-to-back champion.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAfter 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\u2019s plans,\u201d Rosenthal wrote. \u201cPart of the Dodgers\u2019 motivation stems from Scott\u2019s struggles \u2014 he has allowed eight homers with a 4.09 ERA, compared to three homers with a 1.75 ERA last season for Miami and San Diego.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rosenthal also cited their injuries as a motivation go the MLB trade deadline, \u201cPart of it also stems from injuries. While some of the Dodgers\u2019 injured relievers are projected to return, the production they will provide is not certain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite all of the money they spent on their bullpen this offseason, the Dodgers need help. They are not alone, however, as many of the top contenders in both leagues will be looking for help.<\/p>\n<p>New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman has already said\u00a0he is looking for pitching at the MLB trade deadline, and the Philadelphia Phillies need help, too.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers don&#8217;t need much else to create a World Series-caliber roster again.<\/p>\n<p>Their offense has been sensational all year, and they&#8217;ve been piecing together starting pitching despite the injuries. If they get\u00a0Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki back from injury, that unit will be elite.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers host the Milwaukee Brewers to start the second half. Milwaukee swept Los Angeles as part of a seven-game losing streak in early July.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dodgers are looking to improve their pitching amid a myriad of injuries at the MLB trade deadline, per Ken Rosenthal The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0have the top record&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80493,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
