Andrew Friedman: ‘Diverse Looks’ Goal For Dodgers Bullpen

Long criticized as a weak point, the Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen was instrumental in the franchise ending their World Series drought this season, even if it came with some relief pitchers still being saddled by inconsistencies.

Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman worked to fortify the group ahead of the 2020 season by signing Blake Treinen and acquiring Brusdar Graterol from the Minnesota Twins. Jake McGee was then signed during the campaign once he cleared waivers.

Each of the three played a key role throughout the year, and so too did a resurgent Caleb Ferguson before requiring Tommy John surgery, as well as Pedro Baez and Dylan Floro, among others.
