Although this winter’s MLB free agency period has been slow-moving, as expected, things have started to pick up since the turn of the new year. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been among the more active teams, being linked to almost every big-name free agent at one point or another.
While the Dodgers still need to address their third base situation, the focus to this point has been on improving their bullpen. In addition to taking a chance on low-risk additions who can provide upside like Corey Knebel, Brandon Morrow and Jimmy Nelson, L.A. also brought back one of their best relievers from last season in Blake Treinen.
