The Dodgers finally signed a big-time free agent reliever during the Friedman era when they inked Joe Kelly to a three-year deal in December. While Kelly will play a big role in setting up Kenley Jansen, there are other key relievers who will stabilize that bridge during the middle innings. Two of those relievers are Josh Fields and Tony Cingrani.
Both Cingrani and Fields had injury-shortened seasons in 2018 and both are playing out their final years before free agency this coming season. Josh and Tony are very similar in that they both throw hard and played big roles in the Dodgers’ 2017 World Series run.
