The Los Angeles Dodgers lost a key piece to their bullpen at the start of the Winter Meetings, as right-hander Brandon Morrow agreed to a two-year contract with the Chicago Cubs. It’s considered a possibility that the Cubs will deploy Morrow as their closer.
While Morrow will not be easy to replace, particularly when taking into account he pitched in all but one of the Dodgers postseason games, including becoming the second pitcher ever to pitch in all seven games of a World Series, the team has multiple in-house options to make up for his loss.
Additionally, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said this week the Dodgers are focused on adding to their bullpen.
