Dodgers ‘Likely’ To Take a Gamble on Former Cy Young Winner: Report

The Los Angeles Dodgers could potentially take a gamble on acquiring right-hander Shane Bieber in free agency.

Although there is a certain level of risk in acquiring the right-hander, the Dodgers’ pitching rotation could certainly use an elite arm like Bieber’s, despite his season-ending elbow injury.

Bieber would be a key front of the rotation addition for any team when healthy, and the Dodgers are “likely” to gamble on such a high-risk, high-reward target in free agency, according to Jim Bowden of The Athletic. So are the Texas Rangers, per Bowden, setting the stage for a bidding war for an unusual free agent.
