Another day, another impact player potentially joining the Dodgers.
After adding star Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki last Friday, then agreeing to a four-year contract with top free-agent reliever Tanner Scott on Sunday, the Dodgers were closing in Tuesday morning on a deal with right-handed reliever Kirby Yates, according to a person with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly.
No contract had been finalized yet. But, it appeared as though the Dodgers were on the verge of their latest notable addition this offseason, with a two-time All-Star in Yates emerging as the latest big-name in their free-spending sights.
