Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has been known to make under-the-radar bullpen acquisitions that have turned into big contributors, whether it be Joe Blanton or Brandon Morrow.
One other reliever that would fall into that category was Dylan Floro in 2018, as after being acquired from the Cincinnati Reds before the trade deadline, he pitched to a 1.63 ERA in 29 games with the Dodgers.
Floro returned to the club in 2019 and was expected to be one of manager Dave Roberts’ main arms out of the bullpen, and for a while that looked to be the case.
