The Dodgers probably needed a big arm out in that bullpen. With the loss of Kenley Jansen, it was very much looking like Blake Treinen was going to be closing games. And it’s not that he isn’t capable of shutting the door, you just lose him in that 8th inning spot, where he has been very valuable for this team.
But the addition of Craig Kimbrel very much has Dodgers fans excited about the potential of this bullpen. They’re relying on some bounce-back seasons from guys that were injured or underperformed, but the potential is there.
