Dodgers Seek Bullpen Boost as They Aim for Third World Series Title
23 Jul
Summary
- Dodgers have won 11 division titles in the last 12 seasons
- Bullpen struggles with 4.41 ERA, 24th in MLB
- Dodgers GM open to making trades to strengthen roster for playoffs
The Los Angeles Dodgers have set the bar high in Major League Baseball, winning 11 division titles in the last 12 seasons and reaching four pennants and two World Series championships during that span. However, the team is currently facing some adversity, having gone just 3-11 in their last 14 games as of the current date, tying them with the Pittsburgh Pirates for the worst record in baseball over that stretch.
Despite their recent struggles, the Dodgers remain the overwhelming favorites to win the NL West division and make the playoffs once again. The team's focus now is on ensuring their upcoming playoff roster is strong enough to win the World Series, with the Dodgers currently listed as the favorites to claim the National League pennant and the World Series title.
One area of concern for the Dodgers is their bullpen, which has struggled with a 4.41 ERA on the season, ranking 24th in MLB. The team has also dealt with several key injuries to relief pitchers, including Tanner Scott, Michael Kopech, Evan Phillips, Brusdar Graterol, and Blake Treinen. As a result, the Dodgers' front office is open to making trades to strengthen the bullpen ahead of the playoffs.
