Dodgers Rumors: Left-handed bullpen trade targets LA should consider
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Dodgers have steamrolled their way to owning the best record in baseball. Despite this, the Dodgers rumors continue to grow.
2017 is a great year to be a Dodger fan. After starting the season off in bad fashion, the team has rebounded and put together one of the most historic runs in baseball history. Los Angeles in 29-4 in their last 33 games and have only lost one game against a National League opponent since June 7. That is pure domination.
Los Angeles has been able to play so well because their team is so well-rounded. The bats have wakened up and have come through in the clutch when needed. Every single game it seems like it is a new hero that steps up to the plate and delivers the game winning at bat.
Then the pitching staff has been nothing short of incredible. Los Angeles leads the league in both ERA and WHIP, proving to be the best staff in all of Major League Baseball. However, despite this, the latest Dodgers rumors point fingers towards acquiring new arms.
As crazy as this sounds, it makes perfect sense. The team could use one more great starting rotation arm to help come the postseason and could use another dominant bullpen arm. We saw it last season with the Indians and Cubs, getting dominant bullpen pitchers in an already great pen works.
With so many right-handers in the bullpen, the Dodgers would be best suited to go out for a southpaw. We all know Dave Roberts loves favorable matchups, so here are three left-handed relief pitchers the Dodgers should trade for.
